Remember that you have been gifted with a child that has a special disability. You are raising an angel in disguise, and one day you will be rewarded with a spot in heaven because of your love for this child. Just remember that they can't help their behavior, and try not to yell at them. Yelling doesn't work, even with neurotypical children.
