Thank you Jill. I don't presume to judge other parents either, which is why I have friends across the spectrum (did you see what I did there?). I never felt comfortable with people dissing Ms. McCarthy because of her playboy and other experiences, there was a tinge of sexism to it, even when coming from other women. So thank you for saying so eloquently what so many of us now feel after having been consigned to the dumpster of motherhood by this bitch.

*sigh* and for Jill - *hugs*
What I find maddening about this sort of situation is that people jump faster than lightning to remind people of their first amendment rights. What they forget is that rights come with responsibilities. There's nothing responsible about hurling insults at someone, especially those who are vulnerable, it's assholery of the highest order.

YES. Thanks for this Shannon, it's wonderfully put. The thing I've found most useful in terms of dealing with professional behaviourists is learning how to take data on behaviours in an ABC format. It does exactly what you're talking about - it focuses your attention on understanding YOUR child. You end up not really looking at the behaviour itself at all but everything that happened before (what are the triggers?) and the things that happened after (hmm, I reacted that way and the behaviour increased, am I reinforcing this behaviour?). It's so simple but such a powerful tool. I've found it invaluable in taking the 'heat' out of dealing with some pretty hot situations. Thanks again.
