Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Tommy was wonderful today. No problems, no fussing, no goofy behavior, just a happy, pleasant guy.

Dad Reports:
We put an unmedicated Tommy (his evening medicine would come an hour late) into an echoing gymnasium of wild 7-9 year old boys racing pinewood derby cars. He handled himself magnificantly! When he became overstimulated he removed himself to a dark corner on a stairwell and read. When the younger boys wildly jumped over him in running sprints, he ignored their rambunctiousness and simply found a spot with less traffic. Later he decided it best to go outside and sit on a bench. No wierdness. No yelling. No fights. Tommy acted like a calm, disinterested teenager. Fantastic!

Dad reports This Morning:
Tommy awoke and was not rushed since his bus broke down (I informed him of this after he was completely ready of course). He was quite mellow but insistent that I search his backpack. I presume he snuck something to school on his person but was too distracted with other things to make any issue of it.
