Life with Autism

I did not ask him about Just Say No club. I can just picture his answer being "smoke'em if you got'em."

So I guess we can write that experience off.

Of course the answer came back "good" It took quite a bit of convicing to get him to agree that it was bad to be a bully.

We were riding in the car the other day and something about bullies came on the radio so I asked my son is it good or bad to be a bully.

We figure the more group settings with peers he can be involved in the better and hopefully he learns something in the process.

My son participated in 2 after school clubs during this past school year. No Bullies Club and Just Say No Club.

But luckily it NEVER happens when we are running out the door. Right.

Throw in stairs on top of it and it takes him a minute or 2 to get them all in the off position.

The lights controlled by 2 switches are not so bad but the 3 switch lights can get jumbled if we have been using them without him around.

Note to self: keep son away from babysitter’s teenage daughter.

Him “no the switches” while giving me the look his babysitter’s teenager gives when she believes her mom just said the dumbest thing ever.

Me “what are you doing” him “turning the light off.” me “but it was off and you turned it back on and off again”

It finally took me asking him what he was doing to figure what the heck he was going on.

Lights that are controlled by multiple switches all have to be in the off position when the light is off.

Latest autistic tendency:

Although personally I thought the lawn mower was more affective at picking things up off of the floor . . . now if I could just find the cat

Who am I kidding, I was mess the whole time she was down. I never did find the pull start on the vacuum cleaner.

Of course some of that could have been longing for the end of the school year.

It took quite a while for my son to adjust to her being down for so long. He was off for over 2 weeks inculding 2 incidents at school.

My wife had surgery so life has been a mess while she has been recovering.
