@michaeladolf Lol yea I'll deal with adults all day! We do have some noise reducing headphones but he just plays with them lol. I'm sure something will come up that will work, in time. I think for now to help us all we need to just pull back on outings and work on regulating things at home and...

@michaeladolf I can do that so well at home. We are regulating masters and I can work through it all! It's just out in public my anxiety amps up! Especially if I'm alone with him. I find if my husband is there I can manage a lot better because even though he's the one that takes him the most...

@michaeladolf Thank-you for this! I've tried to be aware of outside factors but currently there is no "trend". I don't feel like he's on the spectrum, there's really no other characteristics that would support that. But I wouldn't be surprised if something else is going on. I'll definitely...

@esdras Thank-you this was definitely what I needed to hear, and exactly why I came to this sub for help. I truly appreciate all you had to say and I will definitely try my darndest to implement as much of this as I can. Thank-you for you kind words and thoughtful respectful responses.

@esdras I love this and I do practice this at home, but how do I go about doing that in public when it's not safe or possible to leave him be? What kind of strategies would you suggest for that?

@rhemajoy Oof yea that's how we've been managing them, up to now. It seems some kind of flip has switched and we are in some extreme rage land lol. Toddlers are fucking tough! And being in public makes it so much harder for me to control myself which I know doesn't help either.

@tbenedetto Yea I'm starting to lean towards this being part of the issue. He definitely loves to go but I think it is becoming too much. Thankfully summer is coming and we will be able to get outside a lot more

@wilbo74 I do try. He does seem to want to end up in the most dangerous situations while he tantrums, like running into the street when we're outside, so it's hard to try and take a step back. At home I find I can manage it so much better but he doesn't tantrum as much at home.. and if he does...

Edit: I just want to thank everyone for their kind, thoughtful, supportive responses. It all has helped me come back around. I'm so happy to have this safe space to have gotten this out and gotten the support I needed in a tough time. Today was a really hard day but this sub has really helped me...
