Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Dad reports:
Tommy fought getting into the bath this morning (as is typical) then stayed in the bath forever (as is typical). He finally got out within 30 minutes of us getting ready to leave to visit with Cathy’s parents and brother and sister-in-law (and kids). We cooked out and had a merry time. Tommy stayed in control and for the most part had no problems.

On the return trip we went to Sam’s and Tommy sat up front in the food area reading D&D while Cathy and I shopped and Amy wrestled us. No fits from Tommy.

We returned home and everyone went their separate ways. I think Tommy and his mother worked out some homework arrangements.

Tommy has done lots of humming today (stimming?)

Dad reports this morning:
Tommy woke 7ish and started thumping on the wall to gain attention. When I came upstairs he pretended to be asleep until I said “quit pretending” and he sat right up. I gave him medicine and asked him to try not to wake the baby and he went back to sleep.

For the most part he has had a decent morning. Returned to bed when asked to bathe but eventually got in the bathtub.

He seems to be on the edge of attention seeking.
