Our beautiful Autistic daughter is the only member of our family who didn't get today off from her new job. On top of that, her County Transit bus line didn't run today so she had to have alternate transportation. Anyone who knows anything about autism will understand how a simple change like that to her regular schedule could have been reason for a huge blow up, but she was very calm.
Dad got up and took her to work and we will pick her up when her shift is through. As a treat we are heading to the Mall this afternoon for a little shopping. She has earned the use of some of her hard earned wages.
Yesterday she did the dishes with only a little help from dad. She did a wonderful job too, everything was loaded carefully into the dishwasher (sometimes she can be a little reckless with her dish placement.)
She has been taking her medication for allergies like clockwork ever since the Dr. told her that her eczema would not get better unless she took the medication every day. She uses the special cream correctly as well.
Each day I see great strides in her maturity level. Now, if only I could get her to clean her bedroom.
I know, but a mom has to have one impossible dream.
