How to keep your child under control in public
by Anna
(The Special Life)
If you're a parent of a child with autism, aspergers, add or adhd, then chances are you dread to go out with your kid, right?
If your child is anything like mine, then he's okay for a while, but then can lose it quickly, especially if he's tired or hungry.
And when he loses it, he can get very loud and very out of control - the last thing you want to deal with when you're in public.
In desperation one day, I found a game on my phone (a Blackberry) and handed it to him.
Immediate relief!
My guy has Aspergers, and so anything that even remotely resembles a computer game has his attention. And, because I always have my phone with me, it's great, because I've always got a way to keep him quiet and controlled, without having to coax, cajole or threaten. And without making a scene in public.
Once I knew this technique worked, I went looking for kids games that I could download onto my Blackberry.

I've worked with Anna on several purchases, some quite grandiose in terms of scale, and I can easily say that not only was Anna incredibly helpful, but the depth and breadth of knowledge and professionalism she imparts is bar none when it comes to special needs. Frank, |

These pajamas have changed our lives! My special needs daughter turns 13 years old this month and now wakes up with uncompromised pull-ups. The back zip pj's also cut down on her skin picking. ..This clothing is so well made and works so well that I think you should look into Seeing if medical insurance would cover it.
