I just got my little man off the bus.
Remember "Kathy" I spoke of in mylast post? Well, the bus driver called me over. I was preparing myself for some incident that happened. But, this time it was about "Kathy." It appears this may be her last day at school -- her family has moved and she isn't sure which school she will be attending. I asked the driver if she could find out from her family for sure as I would like to prepare my son if this happens. Somehow, though, I think "Kathy" got the message over to him because he lingered longer outside the bus window looking, smiling and touching the glass while I spoke to the driver. I could actually see a bit of sadness and yes, even love in his eyes. Children lower on the spectrum than say Aspergers -- do they feel heartbreak as we do? I guess the question should be, do they love as we. If they do, then heartbreak is imminent. This is one of those times that I wish he would just breakout in full sentences and tell me exactly what he is feeling..... HIM:"Yes, Mamma. I love her." or HIM:"No, Mamma. I like her as a friend because she has helped me adjust to my new school and program." or HIM:"Mamma, stop exaggerating things! She's a girl and they are a dime a dozen." I just asked my 16yr old if he thought the little man could love. He looked at me, scoffed and then said, "Just because he's Autistic doesn't mean he can't fall in love." I'm sure there is a lot of truth in that since he laughs when something is funny, cries when something harsh is said to him.... perhaps he can love in the Eros since, as well. Tomorrow will certainly tell. For if she isn't on the bus, what he is feeling will be written all over his face. I'll keep you posted...... http://feeds.feedburner.com/MomsterTheScaaaryBlog.1.gif |
