Belle, that totally makes sense, I have almost driven into someones yard that way.

And yes, I base my behaviours on previous similar situations. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Or, I wayyyyyy over think.

On another note, Saturday I met your 9 year old Aspie friend. GRIN. We talked about books and reading. What a beautiful girl. She reminded me of me at that age in thought.

well, then she is ever so lucky to have made your acquiantance, sweet jen

i adore her, and cannot wait to see her again

[her mom too!]

what does your week look like? things are fairly quiet here with the animal control, humane society, and the committee work. sometimes, i check the phone to see if it's still working. other times, it rings like mad.

love to you!

liam, where are you? do you want to fly a kite later this afternoon? just come over!

Hey Belle!

I'm in Park County! After spending two days kicking rocks, I'm taking it easy today. Kite flying would be better here, I think, come on over!!

Apocalipstic · 03-29-2010, 12:47 PM

Flying kites sounds wonderful, the sky is blue and there is a nice breeze.

No too busy of a week, work and stuff.

In 2 weeks I get to go see my sister and her 2 kids in LA. I am so excited!

I hope I will get to see our friend and her Mom again soon too.

Peace and all good, just for today.

I hope you are all having a fabulous week. We will be hitting Nashville on Thursday afternoon.

My Aspie son is in what I am refer to as a meltdown. Its just not a good situation and I am finding that the older/more mature he becomes, the more rigid and resolute he is in his way of thinking/viewing a situation than ever before.

I don't know how much of this is just his growing up and how much of his inability to listen to other points of view is attributed to his wiring. (Or that it even matters which it is)

Please keep us in your thoughts as we try to navigate the situation and hope we make the best decision for him. Its already been a long week and its just Tuesday.

violaine · 03-30-2010, 12:10 PM

dear christie,

my thoughts are with you and your family, during this time of your son experiencing meltdown issues.

not a very amusing situation at all for anyone involved [aspie/family/friends], and i do hope the reason[s] for the upset resolves quickly.

best,
belle

Apocalipstic · 03-30-2010, 12:12 PM

Meltdown. I get that.

I think I am dancing on the edge of one myself.

I hope he and you feel way better way fast!

violaine · 03-30-2010, 12:17 PM

this happened to me today during a phone conversation;

i was wondering if any of you have ever been in the presence of someone who couldn't understand meaning of your words, and so their voice raised at you [question mark- my keyboard is acting strange].

that makes me upset, and i realise that i've been frustrated too, during conversations with nt's [caps not working either], whenever i must repeat myself multiple times. after a while, i am really worn out-

patience, even tone, and consistency work best for me.

belle
