Boy, can I understand THAT, Kat! This guy has not a clue! He has a serious brain dysfunction - totally unlabel-able. And, a pro has told me, untreatable. He can be very sweet but in a nanosecond.... I avoid him. I have explained it twice in person, kindly and carefully and twice in emails - not so kindly and very firmly. But it is like whistling in the wind so I just avoid. My own brain differences include NO tolerance to loud noise; auditory assault (loud music or voices) literally makes me feel as though I have been physically battered.
I am working on finding a way to rescue Christmas for all of us!
