I know that people don'...I would be furious too. I know that people don't understand, but it does hurt and especially when you are - like we all are - trying so hard to make things okay for our little people. <br /><br />I shake as well, and go really, really, red! It is a bit embarrassing. <br /><br />Good on you for saying something and I bet she will think twice before saying something to another parent, she may even look-up Asperger's and ADHD. I also bet that the doctor whom I saw will watch himself in the future.<br /><br />By the way, thanks for reading my blog! :DYellow Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980837844822716686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199292221579998590.post-57631224044917066212011-05-09T06:20:23.905-07:002011-05-09T06:20:23.905-07:00Oh god my heart bleeds for you, no-one should have...Oh god my heart bleeds for you, no-one should have to go through that and least of all from a medical professional who you would of hoped would of picked up on the signs of aspergers. My son is ADHD and mild aspergers and I am like you and get so sensitive to it and cross. Last years school photo I purposely made sure we got to the hall right as the doors were closing for the pictures with siblings who were not in the school, so we wouldnt have a big long queue and wait. My son is on medicaiton but it had yet to kick in and even though the wait was not too long, by the time it was our go, he had had enough and was not going to comply or sit how she wanted him to. His 3 year old little brother just copies him. Ater a few minutes this very grumpy and obviously fraught photographer turned to me and said 'well the younger one I can kind of understand although he is not too good, but is 'his' (looking at my eldest) behaviour normally this bad, its appalling. I have never risen to comments before but there were still quite alot of people in the hall and I was furious and for the first time ever said 'actually my son has ADHD and aspergers which is a form of autism if you don't know and what you are asking him to do, is a little beyond him' grabbed the boys and left. The woman looked like she wanted to ground to swallow her. I was shaking but hope she has learnt not to be so judgemental.The Rambling Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815994483015209286noreply@blogger.com
