Re: **AUTISM / ASPERGERS SUPPORT GROUP**

ppl aren't all so busy with the chaos that can happen all too often

Yep, that was me ๐Ÿ˜ž

The birthday celebration must ahve been too much for him. He went for a kid in the playground at Maccas - we had to physically restrain him for about 15 minutes. :_|

Boy some people are obvious about their staring!!!

A couple watched me very carefully until he used the word "Mum" then they tried to not watch IYKWIM.

I actually told one guy that "this is autism at it's worst, no need to stare!" The mother of the child he hit smiled at that one.
