seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?
September 13, 2009
Another great week. Every day this week, another one of his teachers stopped me in the hall at drop off or pick up to tell me how amazing he is doing. Everyone is astonished. I don’t know how long the super star student is going to be here. But I do know that I have had a glimpse of what the light at the end of the tunnel looks like. And, it feels good to know that it’s there. When you start down this path of autism/asperger’s, you don’t know what the future will hold. Every child is different and the experts can’t tell you exactly what will happen. For now, we’re continuing to take it one step at a time. His teaching assistant started this week. She will be charged with collecting a lot of data so that when we pull any support for him, we’re sure he’s really ready. And, there are a lot of little things that we need to work on that we’ll be beginning this week - like helping him to make choices, helping him to recognize faces, etc.
