Tuesday, May 4th, 2004Mom reports: No, the irony of having a child on the Autistic Spectrum named Tommy hasn’t escaped me. What if I had named him something else? Would he have turned out differently?

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004Dad reports this morning:
Tommy received medicine at 5:20. Was asked to get up at 6:35, 6:45, 6:50 and at 7:00, as he stay in his underwear on his bed with his blinds open, was told “I’d be awfully embarassed if my friends drove up in the bus and saw me sitting in my underwear” which seemed to inspire a quick dressing. I returned from carpool to find Tommy reading a James Bond trivia book. He wanted to take that and a Justice League of America book to school. I allowed the James Bond and denied the other. I chose not to search him for anything else. He read while waiting for the bus and took a poptart with him for breakfast. Seems like he should eat while waiting for the bus and read on the bus.
