  • Even before DD had an ASD diagnosis, shopping with her was a nightmare. She can't keep her hands off of things and likes to wander away and never wanted to leave. I tend to leave her with DH and go out shopping by myself.

  • yes shopping can be a nightmare.even with DH and self, my son has multiple triggers for a meltdown and never sure where/when it will happen. We just deal with them as they come. I am already prepared for him to scream for 90 minutes on a flight to Fla b/c he will probably not be allowed to carry his comfort toy a plastic hanger. We are working with behavior specialists and such but nothing is working
