about above

october 29 2007

Once in a while a friend calls and the only thing she'll say is: "about above".

It's a signal to go upstairs, change into comfortable clothing and leave the house.

"about above" means that she needs to vent about her children and needs my input. Ofcourse I'll vent too, and we'll both end up like a kind of stand up comedians talking about our children.

"about above" means: about the children, above a cup of coffee, or two, or three.

We both have a few children with autism spectrum disorder. Some are at the same age.

They share a lot of characteristics.
Some are plain fun, but most are a real problem.

We've had a week vanaction, which means we have been bussy 24 hours a day. Minus a bit of sleep.

We should have had the chance to sleep in, but instead we had to do our utmost to overcome all the obstacles our autism spectrum disorder kids threw up not to go to school.

When I went after 1.5 hours, I was refreshed!!
