I did quite recently (in my 30s) have to sit through a number of 2 week courses aimed at people with low average to average IQs. I did Sudoku and crosswords during lectures and reminded myself it was only 2 weeks. I also got a couple of migraines and took a day off. I was still very irritable. I also get really grumpy if I have to be in a noisy environment and/or engage with people too long.
It is easy to imagine such a situation making a small child violent. Ds4 has the same problems but I am a sole parent and have to work. I try to arrange some periods where I know he willhave quiet and solitude by sending him to a neighbour instead of childcare.
