Kind Thursday - our autism journey

Thankfully one tired sweet baby O translated to one full night of sleep. Owen usually sleeps with his light on but last night he wanted it off so the light switch literally is on. He has been going through the cycle again of which lights can and cannot be on.

​He has been switching it up and that now includes his bedroom. I noticed him reacting more to different tones so I’m wondering if the lightbulbs are triggering that again or at least that is what I think triggered some of it before. I’m trying to determine what style of lightbulbs he can hear that bother him. It’s such an incredible journey to figure each of these steps out. We got ready and we headed out to the bus. it wasn’t long and he was off to start one of his favorite days.

His teacher said he had a pretty good day. He did great at therapy in all three of his sessions. His one therapist said he couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. And I know it was because he missed her. He is making incredible progress with his speech and language skills. His physical therapist said he was very active and did really well with participation. He got tired at the end but it’s been several very full days since he is back in school. I think busy all the way around.

If I ever question the hearing of Owen I can tell you he doesn’t miss a thing. His tablet was turned up, he was making his stimming sound, and he was in the other room. I tore a banana off the bunch and he was in the kitchen before I could even finish separating it.

They were out of ranch veggie straw that he requested so I thought I would try ranch dressing with him again. He sat happily dipping away. He is “ranching” out.

Bath time and bedtime faded into each other. His light was on when he went to bed but it will be interesting to see if it stays that way. I pray he sleeps through the night.

I’m thankful for his growth and his bright smile behind his blue eyes. Find patience in your heart and strength in your soul. You are amazing and you are not alone. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
