Its that time again.. April.. Autism Awareness month.. Well, our morning was great! our afternoon went to crap at the flip of a switch.. And because it is Awareness month.. Here it is..Our reality of today.. The video is a bit shaky, as it was clipped to my shirt.. Offensive behavior and words.. Youve been warned.. I could tell I was losing him as he gets this look in his eye. A look of something feels uncomfortable but I cant quite tell you what it is. Unfortunately, the day must go on. It was time to get back to his reading when the flip switched.. The easy way out of this is to leave him alone for the day, give him his way. However that doesnt help him. It only teaches him that he can get out of doing his daily life if he starts to act out.. This can not happen. Not for his future. So we dont do all that was to be done in the day, but we do still have to do some.. Just as you and I would have to if we were having a bad day.. Some days his picture schedule works. But days that there is something underlying happening, we just get through the meltdown and move forward with the day.. A is for April is for Autism Awareness.. and our reality..
