Living with Autism: A Parent's Perspective

A Parent's look at Dealing with an Autistic Child

About this blog

Welcome to our blog. Here Michelle and I (Carl) will try over time to give you an idea of the struggles and the triumphs of raising an autistic child. He is lovable and happy most of the time but is basically nonverbal and nonsocial. He is getting better with time and a lot of effort on our part (and on his) and this journey we will try to explain as we go along

The first week of the summer break is over and it there were many interesting details come out of the week

For one the week started with all of the kids wound up completely an our son climbing on everything in reach including computer desks and tables, walking along the top of the back of the couch etc. So all signs point towards a lively and energetic summer with almost no listening skills.

What was of particular interest is that on Monday he took over my wife's computer and went digging for games. And he found them (take into account he is only 6) and proceeded to start playing them and taking the computer over to the point of us deciding it was time to haul my old computer out of the basement.

We have now set him up with a computer to share with his sister and at least my wife gets on the computer some now.

We have also seen signs of certain things we were looking for.  Our son has started to mellow out a bit (at least this am when his sister was in day camp) so hopefully that will continue and as well he has started to make progress again in his autism so we are hopeful that will continue over the summer break

We are watching the next few days to see what happens on that front
