I'm sorry for your stress. I understand that there are difficulties in parenting a special needs child...the hardest thing for me is seeing friends with kids who are developing normally and knowing that mine won't, that college isn't in the future, that sports, socializing, everything is going to be different. It hurts...but you aren't alone. Timor quem habebitis mox non memoria tenebitur |

Maybe start teaching him how to control emotions, which is mostly just practicing. And like with most things the harder you practice the more rewarding it will be. Other then that, maybe CBD oil, diet plays a large role in how you feel as well. |

| Polkahonkus User ID: 46739435 United States07/08/2019 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How does this disorder cause anxiety? What kind of anxiety? Lactic acor anxiety, sympathetic arousal improperly called “anxiety”, what! I don’t care what his IQ is. He should t be screaming on the geocerubstore. Get your groceries delivered and spare HIM the emotional anguish of being stared at or looked away from. You haven’t mentioned your relationship. What do you like to do together. Do you love your child? |

| Oink Oink User ID: 74287764 United States07/08/2019 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My son has a very rare chromosomal disorder called Partial Trisomy 9P. It matters less what it’s called than how it manifests itself. (For those assholes that would like ammunition, I am forced to deny you ... his father and I were both tested and neither of us are at fault, but even if we were it doesn’t give u an excuse to be an asshole.) Carrying on ... I am fortunate bc although there are many physical risks inherent with a duplicate of this chromosome, he has none. He does have the mental challenges though. His IQ is measured at a 52. I’m not going to get into the challenge of relating to him, when I myself have been tested at a 140+ bc I am pretty thick skinned. This matters when ur low IQ but physically capable child insists on being “himself” in public. The negative verbal onslaught. The screaming. OMG ... I just deal and lift my chin up and ignore the looks and the gasps. I’m a single mom, so I can’t leave him with the other parent, I have to take him with me to stores. Quoting: Fortunabeargirl The issue is his anxiety and his anger and violence. Dang, I gtg bc he is flipping out. I’ll be back to finish soon. I’m not trying to rewrite everything. A 140 IQ single mother - makes sense to me. |

One foot in front of the other. Step by step. Seek help and assistance, if you need it. There are resources out there. You don’t have to go it alone. Let others help you carry your burden of love. And take care of yourself and nurture yourself along the way, so you don’t burn out. And ask the Heavenly Father to give you the guidance, strength, and courage you need. He will provide. God Bless,  |

They don't understand really how hard it is. Mostly just suffer in silence, as no one understands. |
