I am having conflicting feelings here, at school another parent who was standing near me and ds says;"ds, why are you stamping your feet like a spoilt baby [or brat, I think I tuned out then]?"
This also happened earlier in the week when ds was confusing his words and not expressing what he wanted to say, on that occassion I stepped in and said "he sometimes uses the wrong words for things", and it was enough.
I have noticed both these were parents, children dont notice or care so much. Ds is 13 and only dx'd last year, he would die if I started saying to people its because of his dx. And these friends we have known each other all for years, I have only told one other parent at school.
Some times i feel the need to explain his behaviour because it looks like otherwise a reflection on my bringing him up. Other times I just want to tell school or areas where it would affect his learning experience, and let him get on with trying to socialise.
Hope this is making some sense. I just found myself wishing I could shut this woman up, but at the same time wanting to do what ds wanted [not say anything].
