A couple of years ...I have a target experience too. A couple of years ago, at age 9, we had almost made it out, had gotten as far as actually paying, and my daughter went nuclear. We wound up sitting in a restraint in the floor at the end of the checkout lane. Five minutes of this and sure enough, here came the security guard. I thought, "OK, here we go, I've avoided getting arrested so far in life, but I don't know if that's going to happen here." But (over the screaming) I told him, "She has Asperger's; this is sensory overload." <br /><br />And he said, "Right ,you need a quiet dark room." <br /><br />He knew what to do. And either somebody had trained him, or he had experience with kids on the spectrum, because he got us moved to the staff room, turned off the horrible florescent lights, and called my husband because there was no way I could drive her home.Jester Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441806535770013592noreply@blogger.com
