Including hiding himself in the blanket when I asked about fighting with A-Man :D.<br /><br />Can't wait to meet! :)Bloggin' In My Undieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703955512452177719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126539884288085385.post-36710096305083606222015-04-13T03:34:17.003-07:002015-04-13T03:34:17.003-07:00This post left me thoughtful and teary.

I try to have conversations with my son every day and of course there is no days that he answers. Or if he does, I can never be sure if he understood. There is no way of understanding the never ending monologues world unless you have a special kid like this - how pointless it seems when you don't know if he will ever answer back. I feel blessed every day that 'it's just autism' with my kid. I feel blessed that mine does want to communicate with us so much - that he wants to take my hand and use me as a method to get milk. But also to bring me there to be with him, whether he wants to bounce on the bed or fall asleep, he wants my presence, he wants to have a meeting where we pay attention to him. I feel blessed that he is overly affectionate and gives nose kisses to those that are most dearrest to him. And that he knows how to apologise by kissing if he has done something naughty or wrong. He knows he can change my anger into affection just by giving me a kiss and a hug. To these I am utterly grateful for. Keep talking to your kid. Put it into the routine (Every time I leave my child, I kiss him three times and tell him to have a good day with his three different nicknames and tell him that I love him. Every time I pick him up, I greet him with 'hello my love, how has your day been'. In the evenings I try to find a time to play with him on the bed or jump him up and down or just pick him up and talk with him. Those are important times in the hectic day-to-day experiences. It's important to verbalise, even though he won't answer. Routines are only difficult on the first three times you do it - after that, they stay. Most difficult part of being an autistic child's parent for me is just that: To change routines. KatiChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052388491015824312noreply@blogger.com
