behavior and discipline

So I can't even count how many times I have gone out somewhere with Ashton and he ends up having a freak out at a restraunt, or a store, or a family members house!  And on almost every occasion I have had someone tell me that I need to discipline my son!  I have dealt with so much drama on both sides! Family and strangers but it never seems to get through to some ppl!  Some ppl just have to voice their opinion and I have said this many times ( your opinion is not wanted here unless you have a child with Autism).  I have read articles online about families being kicked out of places b/c their Autistic child had a fit of some kind.  I would gladly tell someone my exact feelings if they didnt like being around my Autistic son!  I love my little boy so much and I dare somebody to treat him badly! He is so special in more ways than one!  Thanks to everyone who accepts him for the way he is, and not judging me for my discipline techniques!! It means so much to have the moral support of my friends and family!! One of my biggest lifelines has been my amazing friend Ruth Ochoa!! She has helped me through more than she knows!  Being a mom of a 3 yr old is hard in itslef, adding a Autism Spectrum Disorder to that is even worse!! I have a hard time most days but I wouldn't trade my sweet little monster for anything in the world!!
