[quote=Anonymous]Title says it all.  I like our OT but DS with HFA always seems to go a little bonkers in the waiting room (fine in the car before and fine after) but I think it's the transition and excitement about being there.  At the end he does the same which I finally figured out is largely because a)he's hungry and tired by then and b) usually he has to pee and won't tell her.  I've tried problem solving with him and today I fed him an entire meal before he went in but the timing is such that it's right at lunch time so when he came out and went home he ate another full lunch.  I think I handle it fine by staying calm and trying to direct him to more positive behavior but our OT always stands there with her arms folded and watches me like I'm doing something wrong.  It irritates me because I feel like she could either step in and offer ideas or leave, especially when it happens at the end since OT is over and we're just collecting ourselves to go home.  I also feel like she's made a few comments here and there if I haven't been doing something fully over the week.  I really do try but like most of us there's a lot on my plate and DS already occupies the majority of my time and energy so if I do 80% of what we're supposed to it's because I'm also doing stuff for speech, coordinating with the school, dealing with insurance and all the other stuff that goes on.  Anyway, just venting I guess b/c I wish she would either help or at least not make it seem like she knows better but isn't telling me.  I've thought about saying something but not sure how to do it so the irritated part of me doesn't come through.   [/quote]
