A blog entry on "fitting in"...

Well worth reading, of course.

Really made a lot of stuff clear.

That's why I post links. Which is such a stupid reply to make to your comment, and I apologise. I got the link off of... um... that feed I posted about a while back, the name of which I can't recall at the moment.

It's not a stupid reply, it was a short comment, but phone rang, etc. so I didn't get to elaborate.


Although thanks to the LOVELY Board of Ed I still am in a holding pattern about Ted, but when you post links like that it makes me feel better about his behavior. I can communicate better. I can tell more when he's bored, distressed, don't feel a need to immediately stop him when he is doing something I don't understand. It's making HIM Happier, I think, because at least MOM gets him. Not 100% but we're making our needs to each other known better. And that's what I care about. When this whole journey started, I kept thinking, 'he's just about FERAL' but he wasn't, and isn't. I just didn't speak his language and he wasn't speaking mine.

Thank you for that post! I think it gave a first hand look into the life of someone with a daily battle. It made me look at my own life in a different way! Bravo for getting it out there. You should consider publishing? Thanks again!

It's not mine. Though the battle against ignorance is *everyone's* battle.

Board of Ed sucks. Always. That's why we stole all their pencils when I was a kid.

It's good that you're understanding him more, and vice versa - lots of people have that problem. Lots more don't even recognize that *that's* the problem.

And *hugs* just because.

I picked it up from autismhub, by the way.

Doh... that's what I get for assuming. *hand smacks forehead* It was a wonderful post, anyway! And thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the feed info, too!
