Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Dad tried to get me to come up and deal with Tommy this morning but knowing that I’ll be alone for the rest of the week, I just didn’t have the courage to get out of bed.

Dad reports:
Tommy was prompted multiple times to get dressed then left to his own. After dropping the car pool off I almost went straight to the dry cleaners but had left my cell phone at home so I headed to the house to check on Tommy. The bus pulled up just after I got out of the car. I waited for Tommy to come out and he wasn’t. I went to the door and he was standing there with shoes in hand obviously having just thrown on his clothes. His new shirt still had the tags and the sticky with the size on it. I am glad I caught him because that would have been guaranteed teasing. He was going to walk through the muddy yard in bright white socks because he wasn’t ready. I made him put his shoes on and tie them before heading to the bus.

Dad reports This Morning:
Tommy received medicine at 6:20am. He now sits on his floor making no attempt to get dressed. Guess I’ll be driving him to school today.
