Some days having a child with autism feels relatively "normal" - at least my normal. He is predictable -- I know what will make things smooth, what will be more challenging, and I can choose whether I want to take on those types of things. Other days, are just hard. Days like when I had to take Corey to the ER for xrays after an awkward fall and wrist/hand pain that was increasing instead of decreasing as time went by. That was hard - the ER is a scary place for most, but even more so for a kid with autism. Strange noises, smells, machines, people, requests, etc... He handled with a lot of grace, but some difficulty, and we survived, and no break, so Yay!
For days like that, when I have more on my plate than I feel like I signed up for...
So - I guess I am a bad-ass.
