Much Friday - our autism journey

I don’t know how much sleep I got last night but I know I woke up several times thinking about the days ahead. This is probably because my sweet baby O thinks about all his days ahead. Thankfully Owen slept all night and knew the agenda for the day. The repetitive words started right away and he was very focused on when he was going to see his teacher on Tuesday even though it was only Friday.

I heard Owen talking to himself as he walked to me after he got out of bed. I couldn’t quite figure out what he was saying but I had a feeling it was related to what he was doing next week and not today. He knew we were going to his appointment but he was more concerned about getting to school and then seeing his teacher on Tuesday. I truly don’t know why he is focused on Tuesday all the time but I feel like it is related to the fact that he doesn’t ride the bus on Monday. On Mondays and Thursdays, I pick him up for his therapies so I feel like he is trying to make sure his routine stays the same even though all of his days stay as routine as I can make them.

We got ready for his appointment and he wanted to make sure of all the steps. He likes going to see his doctor but he was missing riding the bus to school. We got to his appointment and he did well. He has grown so much and I know he will be taller than me soon. He wasn’t upset his doctor didn’t have on blue pants and even though he was hyper he was able to answer most of the questions the doctor had for him. We discussed a new plan for Owen and then we were done.

Off to school, we went. I talked to his teacher for a few minutes when we got there about his appointment and a few other things. When I was getting ready to leave he kept looking at me and saying that he would see his teacher on Tuesday. We both tried to get him to say he would see her today but he was so focused on Tuesday.

When he got home from school it was the same thing. He was very focused on his days again. As the day wore on I got him to list all the days he would see his teacher and instead of saying Tuesday, he said each day. It felt like progress. He then turned his attention to seeing his grandma tomorrow. I was thankful he was moving forward at least.

He had a great night. He was very calm even though he was repeating some of his words and actions. He gave me a big hug randomly as I walked past him. He stopped me and wrapped his arms around me. It was certainly the highlight of my day. Be bold in the moment and be brave in your soul. Each day you deserve happiness. 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.
