Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Tommy did ok at STAR and was moderately calm in the car. He only asked for something a hundred times at the grocery and he ate dinner at the same speed as all of the children. Now he’s outside complaining because he has no bike or scooter to ride when every other child out there is on some sort of wheels.

Tommy says he’s going to sue me to get payment for the hard work he did on the car. When I told him Josh’s older brother is in the house he quit screaming. Amazing.

Had to pull Tommy away from the car wash and now he is in full hysterics. Screaming, crying. “I don’t CARE about going to STAR! I need to make MONEY!” I tried closing his door and we got into a physical tug-of-war over the door being open or closed. I ended up slapping his arm. I am the worst mother in the world.

Tommy came home denying any knowledge of my request that he clean his room. He is so wild that I don’t see how he can make it through STAR today. Three of the children are out washing the car now.

Tommy has disappeared in the neighborhood.

Tommy is still cranky and touchy today. He is very angry with Noah’s friends and I just noticed how jealous he is of Noah. Tommy is trying to drive Noah’s friends away. Everything out of his mouth so far today has been a complaint. Right now he is watching The Lion King so hopefully he’ll be calm for an hour.
