Don't judge us please.

It really isn't any secret that my son is a handful. I hear the comments and see the stares that people give us when he has a meltdown in public. In the past few months we've had to address his issues with doctors. It seems to be that he does in fact have issues WRONG with him. Now to cover what is NOT wrong with him:
1. It is NOT the mother's fault. I am NOT a bad mother that doesn't dicipline my child. (Yep I've heard that)
2. He is not crazy or mean. (Yes another person said this to me)

I wasn't really going to post about this but I think I need an outlet to get this stuff out...

Over the past few months i've been in tears at different times over my son...over what I overhear people saying about him. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking it about it again. I've heard people I know personally say things, Strangers say things, children saying things about it.

I GET IT!!!!! MY SON IS DIFFERENT FROM YOU ALL.

He is a good soul that just needs a little extra in life.
Don't judge him or me or my family just because he acts different from the other kids.
I know he is a handful and I can't just sit at home with him and never leave. He needs to visit and attempt at being social just like the other kids.

Wow. So I feel a little better but my heart still hurts for him.

He has had a rough go at Pre-K this year and we are in the process of getting him a diagnose of what is really going on. The peditricatian seems to think it is a little or a combo of these things: ADHD, OCD, pediatric bipolar(not too sure about this one), ODD. We are also working on a full Psychological workup with a child Psychologist. It's just so time consuming and stressful. Also, my husband is still deployed so I am trying to do all of on my own and keep his wants for our son in mind. It's tough!!!

So please, I am only asking you not to judge people so harshly when you see a child acting up in public..You really don't know what the true issues are.
