***PLEASE READ***THIS VIDEO IS UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN, PLEASE WATCH RESPONSIBLY.I am posting this video in a bid to raise awareness and understanding of autism. Dominic's tantrums are a daily occurance and if he has one while we are out, people simply assume he is naughty. As hard as it was to make these videos, I hope it goes some way towards changing that stigma for my son and every other person with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.I want parents, carers and families to know they are not alone.I also want Dominic's doctors to see how the simplest of things can cause him such distress, essentially aiding with his diagnosis. *Update* Just to let you know that the way I worded the subtitles in parts are blunt and play on emotion, this was very much intentional; I'm unashamed as it ultimately achieved it's main purpose, made his CDT panel see that his problems are not simply a PDD; which has led to *cue drum roll* diagnosis. He has since gotten a made to measure wheelchair so he can now come out with us safely, a fantastic PEC system and hopefully a schoolplace in the next few months! :)

Polkadot, Thanks for posting this. My husband and I are going to be fostering young children and I am trying to learn all I can about various behvaiors and disorders, it is one thing to read in a book, but completely another to see it. I thank you again, for sharing these painful moments so that others can learn from them.

Hi polkadot, Your videos are quite educational and I appreciate what you have done, you have probably helped out many parents with kids who have some form of PDD. How often and how long are his tempers' durations. I ask this because I have Asperger's Syndrome and my mother told me that I would spend 18 hours a day rocking on my stomach. I'm 28 now, going to college and thinking of maybe becoming a psychologist with a specialty in Asperger's.

"Even those with severe ilnesses still need disiplin."Well yes, and I'm sure she does, by her best parental judgement. It's okay if you don't reply back.

Just replying to your comment as i can not find it here, I have been taking therapy but i ain't a nutter lol. How do you come to that conclusion. In my eyes you are a bad parent and i said so. If that makes me a pysco.. i can live with that. Bitch pleaaase.

Oh please, you still think we're competing over something?! I guess you should consider psychiatric therapy on top of your regular stuff, that is if you really do have therapy. That's a point actually, you say my kid can help the things he does - then why do you supposedly need therapy? Why don't you just 'stop' having your problems? Bit of a hypocrite are't you sweetie? :) That was rhetorical by the way x

As much of a dumbass i may be i am still 1 step ahead of you on one thing. You'll find out what it is soon enough.

Nobody here believes they don't you silly girl! All of my kids are disiplined in some way - though I guess since I'm not sitting them in baths of acid, peeling off their skin and making them eat it I'm more or less doing jack hmmm... Assumptions make people look like dumbasses; since you're not Jedi I highly recommend you stop using these 'powers' to guess how I parent my kids ;)
