I have seen this with older people who just COULDN'T this or that, and the more they didn't the more they couldn't. And let's face it, manipulation is a widely used tool in this world, with some realizing they do it & some not. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741866328777936705.post-51674406703632170492009-06-10T23:30:50.450-04:002009-06-10T23:30:50.450-04:00I don't think you made the wrong decision.

All we can do is the best we can do in every situation. I think you're handling it as well as possible.Tanya @ TeenAutismhttp://teenautism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741866328777936705.post-82255206593228048232009-06-10T17:50:35.240-04:002009-06-10T17:50:35.240-04:00I still remember a 5th grade field trip to the Son...I still remember a 5th grade field trip to the Songo River Queen, a boat on the lake... nearby.... I begged my mom not to make me go...she let me stay home, I'm still thankful to this day.<br />When you don't have the social skills or sensory integration skills to deal with something like that... then it would be pure hell and only make you feel worse about yourself and give you traumatic memories that make you feel more afraid of everything.<br />We did a similar thing on my prom night years later in HS which I did go to....why, I have no idea.... it was terrible....thus reinforcing my decision that doing anything with large groups of peers is just really NOT a good idea..<br />The only thing I remember was the chocolate covered strawberries tho....they were good.<br /><br />In short: sensory issues + social deficits do not a fun field trip make. My opinion anyway.<br /><br />DOn't know if your son has an aide but that might have helped me, dont know. <br /><br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931944728963114472noreply@blogger.com
