Thank you. And yes, much like Tourrettes, my boy has quite the outbursts no matter where we are. He's a good kid, if I ask him to do something, he does it. But he then screams after to express his unhappiness about it. It's his only way of dealing with that emotion. For many kids, that's quite normal really but in the case of Autism, it really can be the ONLY way a child can express that emotion.

And so we get all this judgmental looks from other people in a restaurant as if he's a bad kid, or we're bad parents... but it's just because they don't know.

I don't really care what others think, but you still can't help wishing you could just keep a low profile and not have those other people even notice you're there.

He's a good kid, I know it. Everyone who knows him knows it.
That's all that really matters.
