I encountered a situation yesterday that I have not before. It derailed me, enraged me, and confused me because it was at Daniel’s music therapy. We arrived early so Daniel and I went into the room, he wanted to show me some of the instruments, and I wanted to play with him anyway. 
It is an awesome room!
We came out and another family was there with their little girl. She has been there every week with Daniel. She seems to have delayed language development and possible ASD and/or ADHD, but that is only from my few encounters with her briefly observing how she talks/does not talk/and her social interactions. I have taken notice at the fact that her parents seem to have little interest in what she is doing.
They kind of nod their heads and smile when the therapist (We will call him Mr. E) asks their daughter to share.
Yesterday, they brought along their teenage daughter who was sitting on the couch rather frumpy-like I do think it is a common stance in some teenagers – it is familiar to me. The therapist had been talking to Daniel about his compass. He asked Daniel questions, Daniel was responding, and they were having a great conversation. Mr. E then, directed Daniel to introduce himself to the teenage girl. Daniel sat next to her, said his name, and shared information about his compass.
They were great things that Daniel has not done before with a stranger.
