Meltdowns suck

Today we braved it and went to McDonalds....for the first time in months. And now I remember why we didn't go. I want to make a billboard that tells people to be nice. Gabe lost it. I mean lost it big in there....he was screaming, biting me, and kicking. A mom (of one of his classmates that is "normal") says very loudly that "people with spoiled kids should not take them in public"
She knows Gabe has autism....I was trying to pick him up (Geromy took all 3 girls out to the van) and he grabbed a chair. He threw said chair across the play area. It was loud....we had about 30 people staring at this point.
I stayed calm (I have no idea how) and pried him off of the things he was grabbing and carried him screaming out to the van. Once in the van I buckled him into his carseat, got into the front seat and cried.
It was bad enough that the other mother was mean. It was worse that she knows us, she knows and she was mean.......
