Christy I missed your post the other day. I think a lot of Masons hiding under the chairs at kinder was his way of trying to excape when it got too rowdy for him. I knew when he was like that I was in for a trashed bedroom that afternoon too. It drove me nuts because I wanted him to burn it off at kinder and come home and rest but it was the opposite. He's be full of nervous energy and go ballistic. He didn't tantrum though just be destructive. 4 hours is a long time for Matilda to be out of sorts like that

LMAO at Matilda sandwich

We get a bit of flapping but it never really was a big issue for us. When he did it though it was when he was having a tantrum. He is more into eye rolling and doing things with his fingers like pretending they are aeroplanes. That doesn't sound too bad until you see it in action and he does it a LOT.

Arrrgh Maz! Don't ya love it when family don't get it! Even when you've told them over again
Which brings me to a little vent. Mum started going on about the autistic kids she has looked after with work (she works for the council doing homecare for oldies but sometimes does respite afternoons for special needs kids). She keeps comparing Mason to them and going on about how one is 12 and wears a nappy and another strips off all the time and masturbates and as Mason doesn't do that he's not all that bad. Of course I know he's not that bad! Mason seems normal to her. Why do I have to reel off a list of his problems and learning issues for her to justify his diagnosis. I've only told her a dozen times. I think she's got KRAFT albeit selective.
