We have people on this site who for some odd reason, have a severe obsession with discipline and corporal punishment. The important thing is she blocked you and it's one less worry. Unfortunately, we have people who still believe that one size fits all when it comes to raising children, especially those that are special needs.
@Barefooter25 yes I get messages from them from time to time and I always block them. I couldn't imagine punishing him when he didn't do anything wrong. This poor kid has been through so much especially the last year.
@Cigarguy These are people that still think it's the 50s, 60s, and 70s when it comes to special needs children. They are probably too ignorant to realize research and parenting skills have come a long way to understanding what is best for children with special needs.
@bijouxbroussard thank you so much. Yeah I was a little surprised when she asked me if I disciplined him I mean clearly he was struggling and he was afraid why would you discipline a child for being afraid. That's only going to make their fears worse

What I miss??
This one was the only good one I could find, that wasn't of someone, trying not to imitate the ladies in the Ridgemont High cafeteria during lunch period (yes I know it was a goddamn carrot!!!!, not a banana)
I think I might watch Real Genius tomorrow, what do you guys think?
@Cigarguy Does my comment about driving them out 20 miles and making them walk back put me in this category? Oh, and I did indeed message my daughter, and she has no recollection of that event. So it never even took place.
Though she was asking many pointedly direct questions about why I brought her up, whether her feet were sore, and whether she could get back into the house, at 1 am that specific morning. I just stayed mum and powered down my phone for the rest of that evening.(jk)
But seriously though, there are a good (to many) amount of people in the gen pop, that do not have any empathy when dealing with children or even, any living organism for that matter.
@Levenrack it just makes me sad that there are people out there who actually believe that he deserve to be disciplined or punished for his behavior. I just can't figure out how anyone would think it would help him overcome his fear of going to the doctor. He thinks every time he goes to the doctor they're going to draw his blood and give him shots. He's still trying to figure out the difference between the appointments. So he gets scared and he doesn't understand what the afos are for and why he has to wear them he doesn't like them they're uncomfortable and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to wear them. He just needs time and encouragement and he has to learn to trust the doctors again and punishing him isn't going to do that.
@Cigarguy They're just passing down that "tough love" that they got their whole upbringing and don't want anybody else missing out. You start throwing that E word around, and they start acting like those hoity-toity Blue Ribbons types in Disturbing Behavior.
