Little Boy's dad took him to the fair yesterday, and I'm glad to say he did very well. Sometimes it upsets me because it looks as if he does better on these excursions with his dad than with me. That hurts. But above all, I do want Little Boy to have these experiences.
If you are the parent of a child with autism, don't ever hesitate to reach out to those around you for support. National groups like the Autism Society of America have support chapters in every state. You can also find information within your own school district. Ask for help from your friends and family when you need a break. You may not be able to do the fair trip, but maybe your Uncle Fred or best friend might be perfect for it.
Ask for help......do the best you can.....and give yourself a break. That's just what we have to do sometimes.
