Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Tommy outside. Appears to be doing construction in a concealed part of the yard. More power to him! Glad to see the kids finally playing in the woods.

Tommy is in that bored and looking for trouble mood. His intonation in his voice is different when he is this way. His walking turns more into a meandering and he moves as if he were just allowing the air currents to direct his path but with definite intentions.

Tommy very intentionally trying to upset his Mother.

Tommy sounds like he is acting infantile and irritating his brother.

Tommy received medicine at 7:30 and said “Amy woke me up.” I replied “I thought you couldn’t sleep?” He said “I guess I did.” I questioned “It’s easier to sleep with the light out and the book closed isn’t it?”

Tommy appears in a good mood so far.

Dad reports this morning:
* 5am I hear noise and Tommy’s light is own and he is reading. He says “I can’t sleep.” I think “I couldn’t sleep with my light on and I were reading either.” I tell him “you don’t have to sleep, but you have to lie in bed with the light out” and I confiscate his glasses. Hopefully he will rest some more.

Dad reports last night:
* Tommy was sawing some heavy logs last night. I think it was 8pm that he passed out in bed without prompting. His snoring shook the house
