[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. I have a 6 y/o with ADHD and question mark still for ASD diagnosis. He is starting to get big enough that I can’t easily carry him outside of he’s melting down. When he’s regulated he does great. And a lot of the time he is. There’s no clear trigger though as to when something will set him off (confirmed by neuropsych that he really does just get set off suddenly so I can’t always avoid it).

Because I can’t physically carry him on my own while he’s flailing anymore, I sometimes have to bribe or just remain calm to get him to calm. The worst is getting looks from people. I just feel them watching me and maybe it’s insecurity but I feel like they’re judging me for having a kid that acts like this (yelling and kicking me) and from reading threads in this forum I know there are people who would be happy if we just disappeared from ever being in public spaces. I do my best to get him out of wherever we are as soon as I can, but sometimes I have to pay a check or come up with some sort of negotiation to get him to cooperate with me. You can’t tell from looking that he has SNs so I’m sure he just looks poorly behaved. I just hate it so much and it crushes my heart because he really can be a sweet kid. [/quote]
