Dad reports:
At 7:02 Tommy was still in bed. He had recovered the bedspread that I had removed and wrapped himself head to toe like a big burrito. I pulled the coverings off of him again and told him his bus would be here in a minute and then I left with the carpoolers.
At 7:15 I passed the bus as it pulled out of the neighborhood. When I got to the house there was no Tommy.
Dad reports:
Just went in to rouse Tommy and tapped his foot resulting in much groaning and some stretching. As he began to settle I tapped it again and he bark harshly “what!” He seems so angry. He and I have developed a bad intolerance for each other.
Dad reports this morning:
Tommy was given medicine at 6:20. At 6:45 he remains in bed.
Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder.
... In Asperger's Disorder, individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behavior in childhood.
...Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior.
... leaves no space for age appropriate, common interests. ...
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.
