Yes, with me! In other words maybe i have learnt to listen to him. But slowly its been possible to get others to see what he is trying to say. And each time you notice that there is so much joy in his eyes and great calm in his reaction. A communication board that we have made for him, he has adapted to very well. Its always a two way street, and feeling them is very very important to cut those so called tantrums.. as they are manifestations of his frustration of not being able to be understood.
