Who ever thinks that autistic kids are "out of it" or "don't know what is going on". They are sadly mistaken. Pudd'n is throwing a very good tantrum because I will not give him any more candy. The kid has had MORE than enough. So when the "crying" would not break me............he goes into his bed room and obsessively opens & closes the door. He KNOWS this drives me bat shit. I'm sitting here, trying to keep my temper in check. He will not win this one. It never ceases to amaze me how long this kid will keep up a tantrum too. I won the battle of the door, I just ignored it, but I can still hear him carrying on like I beat the shit out of him or something. All this because I said "no". Ugh.
