The meeting (july 6)

People with an autism spectrum disorder often have difficulty sleeping.

It's a wellknown problem in our family.

I feel there has to be a daily rhythm though.
Not because there's some physical wellbeing involved, but because it's more convenient for the rest of society. (And me. LOL!)

It's vacation here, which means my days are endless and hopefully start late.
But my son wanted to attend a meeting at 10.00 hours.

Last evening I told him over and over to go to bed... but I'm just a parent, and he's the director of his own life. And he had the attitude too.

The meeting was not of real main importance.
OK, he had to attend it.
But if he missed it there would be another opportunity, in another town and at a less convenient time.
So I thought it wise to give him the so much wanted responsibility and went to bed myself.

I woke up late... and started my day without calling people to go to school or go to meetings...

untill... 14.00 hours (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

"Hejjj.... it's time to wake up... you have a meeting to attend..."

He woke up and immediately looked at his watch...
Looked again...
and again...

"Uhhh... ???"

"Yeaaaa.... I think you missed the meeting today."
