hospital stress

I am sitting here quite tearful. We have been to the hospital as part of DS heart monitoring. He also has DS, severe developmental delay (6 years behind his age) SPD, challenging behaviour etc. Anyway after we told him off for hitting out at one child, he started on another. The mother jumped up, grabbing her child and shout for Fs sake, what the f did you let him f*g do that for. by then he was on a mission to run so I immediatly went after him for the woman to shout I go on f* off. I felt terrible. Then too top it the doctor asked is anyone dealing with his behaviour. We said yes but they are not around to see the worse of him and don't seem to believe us. He told us they have to take our word for it as he is a lot worse. Thanks for the rant.

Is your boy getting any help at all with his behaviour?

I am so sorry you had to go through that. Managing challenging behaviour is so difficult. The last thing you need is someone shouting abuse at you.
My DS used to "grab" other children, he is now much better, but I couldn't keep him out of sight, I had to constantly follow him to intervene before anything happened. It was exhausting.
I hope you are feeling better.

Oh Devie that's horrible, just what you didn't need. That woman is clearly not good with words and she took her anger out on you. hope you feel beter now and that you've had a big glass of wine xx
