Hi everyone! I have ventured into an idea that I hope others will want to participate in. I have created a new facebook page titled ”Au’Some – ASD Moments.” Recently, my thoughts have brewed over times when great moments have happened around here and I feel that I have no one to share them with. On my personal facebook page, people do not truly understand the significance of certain things. For instance, when Daniel tried eating with a fork one day. Or like last night, when I told him that he was going to have to wait until dinner was ready before he got anything to eat. Instead of the usual response that could be anything from throwing something to complete meltdown, he went and sat down.
He then said, “I am doing great.”
I asked, “What are you doing great at Daniel?” He said, “I was a little disappointed about not getting anything to eat, but I did not get upset. I can wait. I am doing a great job.” Aaaaa! That is amazing!! He has been working so hard at learning how to handle disappointment and at trying to accept the word no. It is not an easy task to for him, it is not a discipline thing. (There are times when he is being obstinate, but I have learned the difference.) It is difficult for him to comprehend that I am doing other things or that I have two other children who need my attention as well.
That is a fact, I do not think of it as a bad thing.
