That Friday Feeling! 28th March 2014

I heard D before I saw her this afternoon!

“Mumma” was screeched (but in a delighted way) and D zoomed towards me, at a vast speed, her red coat flying behind her like a cape.

It didn’t take her long to reach me – and nearly knock me over – she’d had a good day and couldn’t wait to tell me about it.

Which she did. Her day had involved receiving a certificate for good, independent Maths work (she loves receiving them) and that had totally made her day.

There was a reminder of just how changes effect her. We saw T whilst we were on our way to meet up and I said “who’s he talking to”, alarm bells inwardly ringing. It was Hubbie and I thought D would be pleased to see him. But no. He was not where he should be and there was a fast, stony-faced walk into (luckily) a service road. Just goes to show that unexpected changes are not met with the emotion that would normally be given.

T was relieved it’s the weekend and, although he doesn’t have a football game to play tomorrow, he will be going to watch one and that seems good enough.

So, all positive.

This Is Autism – experiences and contributors needed:

For April, I’d like to devote part of my diary post each evening to a different parent/carer/individual’s experiences.

Any stories (long or short) and pictures can be emailed to me and I’ll let you know when it will be included.

I hope everyone’s day has gone well, comments/RTs/shares as ever welcomed, thanks for reading Jx
