Mom reports: Tommy got up when he was too hungry to hibernate any longer. He worked a little on his k-nex roller coaster but it’s a huge project and he seems to be getting annoyed at the speed of his progress. In a strange twist, Noah is weepy and upset today and Tommy is consoling and comforting him.
Dad reports this morning:
Tommy went to bed at midnight and now remains in bed.
Dad reports:
Tommy builds on.
Mom reports: Tommy came home in high gear but after a swim he is visibly exhausted. I’m letting him stay up late building with k-nex to wind down.
Dad reports this morning:
Tommy returns today around lunch time from his visit with his biological father.
Mom reports: Still no call from Tommy. I would really like to hear from him.
Dad reports this morning:
Tommy at a hotel with his 11 yr old sister, 8 yr old brother, biological father and bio dad’s girlfriend. We received no phone call last night even though we requested it from the kids and the adults.
Mom reports: I wonder if Tommy got his meds tonight. I wonder if he’s listening to him and if he’s trying to help him not get over-stimulated.
Dad reports:
By the time bio dad arrived Tommy’s head was spinning like a fly wheel and his eyes like two small gears. By Sunday night he’ll need sedation.
Dad reports:
As bio dad’s arrival time nears, Tommy grows increasingly aggitated. Sharp tongue. Short temper. Twitches. Tapping feet but more like pounding instead of tapping.

We will document our trials, tribulations, good times and efforts to give our son a normal life and perhaps help other Asperger parents in the process.
