I used to feel like I had to apologise all the time for his behaviour, to explain it to people and educate them to be more understanding of him and other kids. Then, suddenly I got tired of having to do it all the time, so I just stopped apologising. Strategies that May Work for You Find someone you can confide in and cry with them without feeling embarrassed or awkward. Get support from other people who have children with disabilities. They understand what you are going through.
Children are inquisitive and willing to learn.
Explain you child's disability to them and the adults around can learn in a non-threatening way. It's better to discuss behaviours you find difficult. It helps you and the person understand what is appropriate. Don't get trapped in the house. Find a support network of friends you can confide in and seek support from in difficult times.
