Yep. It makes perfect sense.


I remember riding the train just after DS's DX and not understanding what I felt so shocked. I had been expecting this for years!

Welcome Dawn. You'll be happy to know that we frequently have threads about the TRULY QUIRKY things our spectrum kiddos do. Here are a couple from my own life that should make you realize that there's nothing you can share here that will surprise us.

One of my all time favorites was when my youngest went through a stage where she always had to sniff people's heads. Cracked me up when she started doing to my MIL who, for a while, insisted she was perfectly normal!

Most recently she's started chewing on pebbles from the playground. Nothing like enduring the disapproving looks of "parents of perfect children" first thing in the morning. (But go ahead and try to get her to eat a piece of candy...NOT GONNA HAPPEN.)

Again, Welcome!

Well I can say that is just like Mike. I dreaded picking him up from preschool and kindie, all the way up to even sometimes now. It is rare but I can tell when the teacher comes walking toward me after school and she has that one look on her face, my stomach just drops.

Back before he had a good placement I would spend my whole day worried about him. What is happening? Is he doing ok? I would be anxious to go pick him up and find out but at the same time dreading it.

Fortunately now it is mostly good stuff. Nearly daily I get a "thumbs up" from his aide. Of course there are some things they just don't tell me about. I find if they get him to turn it around they don't tend to tell me all the gory details (like scaring the bejeepers out of the psychologist during testing when he threw a fit). That is OK by me so long as I know that he is safe and in general how he is doing. But I have to say, it is way more fun picking him up when I hear good stuff more often than bad.

I had the same experience about diagnosis. No matter how much I thought I was ready and even thinking it was a possibility, the reality was still a kick in the stomach and it really took me a long time to wrap my brain around. I have to say life was not particularly pretty while I was wrapping my brain around it either.
