dyk Jack is hanging with us this weekend, he got here after school yesterday and will be with us thru end of daylight tomorrow
dyk his parents are taking a weekend away together and they have a hard time finding care for Jack (their others are older and can stay alone but can't care for Jack) even her parents won't take Jack b/c Jack has some special needs
dyk he's prone to erratic violent meltdowns
dyk well, you know us -- violent meltdown.. come on over!! LOL
dyk of course, we don't deal with that with him here b/c we're set up for kids and I didn't force him to eat when he wasn't hungry, or wear socks with his shoes, or change clothes to sleep...
dyk he ate at 7:15 when he was hungry, all the kids ended up barefoot anyway and who CARES what you sleep in?
(dyk Jack hasn't been formally diagnosed yet but they do suspect Asperger's (his 16yo brother has aspergers, too))
dyk Dek and Jack were in class together last year and I am in small group with his mom so we see them often
dyk but Dek is having a little trouble with playing b/c Jack won't play like he wants him to.
dyk but it's a good lesson for Dek to guage the situation and adjust accordingly -- most kids his age cannot keep up with his scenarios, even when they are interested and Jack is really quick and very smart, but doesn't "play" the same WAYS that Dek does lol
dyk some of the conversations drifting in are really funny
