I get tired of explaining
*Sigh* Mark's dental surgery is tentatively scheduled for Feb 21st - however, the receptionist on the phone made it real clear to me that "his wisdom teeth SHOULDN'T be bothering him and giving him that much pain" *HUGE SIGH* I responded " Have you lived with someone with autism or have either of the surgeons??" Of course NOT. I then added " I know it sounds crazy to people that don't live like we do but I've seen Mark get a second degree burn on his feet and sleep like a baby but then turn around and freak out over a hangnail. He is slapping his face and digging in the back of his mouth; If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears" I AM SO FLOCKING TIRED OF HAVING TO EXPLAIN shat to people about autism. I AM SO FLOCKING TIRED of having to defend my child and help him get a smidge of relief. Sorry to vent but it's just so doggone frustrating to not be heard. Can you imagine how Mark feels?

STFU!!
I thought wisdom teeth could start coming through at that age. They must hurt like hell. Poor baby.
*hugs*
They're impacted and not emerging so....according to the surgeon " what's the big deal?" 0_0
Can I cuss in you blog? LOL
Tell the surgeon hes a god damn mofo and to eat shat!
Of course you can cuss - I expect nothing less from you 0_0
ROFL :)
So sorry - poor Mark!! Poor Marksmomm!
You know - a lot of kids around his age get their wisdom buds removed. I really don't see where their drama is coming from? Is this a ped. oral surgeon?
If they have a better idea of where the pain is coming from, they can offer it!
Probably a really dumb question - but can someone teach Mark the sign for teeth and pain and see what kind of response they get?
Not dumb at all and we are working on it - so far, he only knows to ask for tylenol. If it's not the teeth, I'm clueless as to what's causing all this. I did touch base with Lori today ( one of the group home owners ) to make sure I hadn't lost my "perspective" on all this. Her take is that he is in pain but to keep in mind that he now has a habit of slapping himself that won't leave immediately even IF we tackle the pain piece to this.
