Boys to school

August 21 2007

Today two of the boys went to school.

My autistic son was rather nervous and tried to stay at home.
He couldn't walk, he said.
He walked in front of me to show it, dragging his body far to the right and left.

I managed to get him under the shower after his pain went less on a vitamin C pretending to be an aspirin.

Ofcourse he had no T-shirt, no trousers.
They were all right in front of him.
It was clear: he couldn't make it to tell me he had no socks.

Both young men went together.

It was great to hear a bit of silence in the house again.

But after a night on only 2 hours I wasn't able to enjoy it well.
I woke up with cramps in my leg, and the pain is still bugging me.
It's an old injury, so when the leg cramps badly it takes days, sometimes weeks to heal again.

2 hours later he was back.
He was very content he got the mentor he wanted.
A very nice lady, who really cares.

After some bad experiences I'm happy he has a mentor who takes an effort to give him a good time at school.

His brother is in the same group too. So that'll be easy at parent evenings.

They start out each day with the first hour of the day.

Last year they had mornings that they weren't expected at school before 10.30, and that gave so much unrest.

I can deal with lack of rhythm and routine, but I don't think it's good for the children.

Hopefully it stays this way, so I can get them all to school at about the same time.
I longed for this a long time!!
