Charlie likes “sammonfiss”—and I think the smell (of raw fish, generally) appeals to him—-good getting through the floor flop, a phenomenon not unknown to us…..

There is an advert on tv at the moment where the child wants something in the supermarket but the mother says no. The child is about to throw a paddy when the mother beats him to it and throws herself on the floor kicking and screaming.The child is so shocked that he puts the things back on the shelf.Advert ends with look of triumph on mothers face. Brilliant!Though I can’t imagine me trying that one anytime soon in ASDA!
I think I’ll stick to the ‘wait ’til I get you home glare’.
After so many years and so many children I no longer seem embarrassed when they paddy,I love to watch the faces of the ‘perfect parents’who are thinking ‘my child would never act like that’ And I think ’0h yes, 24 hours living with autism and you would be a basket case’.The pity is the ‘perfect parents’ never say anything, now that would be entertaining!

Wow, you seem so unflappable and unembarrassed at your child’s loud protestations and floor-flopping in the store. You’re my hero.

Oh I do so know that “I’m dying! The smell, the smell, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to die RIGHT HERE!” story. Oh yes. Yes Yes. I’ve seen it before. Glad to know it’s a shared scene.
