I honestly think that whoever filed the report was not concern about abuse but about Ethan. I'm really not to concern about it because nothing is going on. It has been over 6 weeks since Ethan has burnt himself.
Thanks for the encouragement. Hang in their and tell your friend to also. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. |
You're right in that what makes it harder in public is that there's no physical signs that he has any problems. People just think he's being a brat. I've told her she really needs to find a support group and possibly a therapist specifically for her to teach her how to handle these outbursts. What works for your average child discipline-wise is not always going to cut it with an autistic child. I hope she finds that help soon.
