wasuup Report post Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Kids are still off today for half term. My 5 year old was manically running up the freezer aisle and down shouting "shut the doors" over and over even when people were actually trying to get something out of there. Managed to get him out of the area and calm hin down but still was extremely embarrasing even though it wasn't that busy because it was still quite early on a Monday.

Could he have been reacting to the cold? i know the cold bothers me in supermarkets even when im dressed up like an Eskimo. Unless hes repeating something that's been said on the tv or at home about "shutting the freezer doors"? Another possibility is that the noise of the freezers is bothering him.

"An autism alert card" can help in this situation. Just say excuse me in a stern voice and show them the card! i showed my "i have dyslexia card" today before i got served in the coffee shop as i needed them to help me register it. i cant read certain websites and this site in particular was bound to use white writing which even with my colorimeters and long-sightedness specs on find almost impossible to read.

Alexis Yes that could be a possibility well all 3 could. Today there was one on those signposts that have 2 long poles and the sign above it. He started screaming because the rest of the family has already gone under it. Froze to the spot. Everyone had to come back (6 of us in our family) and let him go under the sign first. What plonkers we must have looked!! Then in the pasty shop we were being served and someone came up and starting serving the person behind us. He turned to the young girl next to us and told her very loudly and crossly "It's not your turn we haven't finished yet "! In school on Friday he had a bidding prayer to read out in a parent assembly which he did so very loudly and sang the last line-apparently! I wasn't there because no matter how many times I try to tell the class teacher that he doesn't tell me anything she doesn't seem to get it. Teacher said "He read out loudly and even sang the last line. He's not shy at all is he? Didn't he tell you he was reading in todays assembly?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes my son does this mimics the vicar who sings very loudly and mimics the vicars Amens very loudly as well! I try to ignore them best I can but I am still really aware of then as well. Fortunately he is quite a small 5 still and looks much younger but I don't look forward to the day when he gets older and is too big and strong.
