ugly face of autism

Well, get ready to grab some cheese and I'll provide the whine.

I really started the day out optimistic in every way. J-man went off to school really well, and we continued with our morning. Tibby asked if he could watch a movie this afternoon and I said yes. We went to pick J up from the learning center. Came home and had lunch and he started in....

J-"I wanna watch movie"

Me- "yes, after tibby finishes his"

J then runs to the tv and turns tibby's movie off.

Me- "OK, J, no tv for you"

J- "SOOOORRRRYYYY!!!!"

Me- "Thank you J, next time please leave it alone."

J-"Watch movie?"

Me- Maybe tomorrow

J- scream, hit, pull my hair, fall to the ground, jump up, turn tibby's movie off AGAIN. I take him out of the room, and we pray and discuss his behavior.

He seems better.....

Then we repeat the cycle 3 more times, which leaves me and him in tears and exhausted.

AUTISM.

Thank God those ^^^^^ little dudes at the top of the page changed the mood around here. We have been studying winter this month, so this was a fun treat for them.
