“Autism Aubservations”

   Posted by: Sandi   in Autism

Sorry. Had to.

This morning in the House O’Quill, it is a good day for the little guy. He asked to be awakened early, so I tried, but he wanted a “few more minutes.” Fortunately, that was easy for both of us, and I granted them.

Then, when he awakened “for real” we had a time of When You Were a Baby and I shared with him some of the stuff we used to do when he was a newly-born Little Bud. That interested him not at all.

What cracked him up totally was when I was telling him about his big brother, Cyclone, watching movies in the middle of the night when Cyclone couldn’t sleep. THAT made Builder giggle and demand repeats of the telling.

Then, he launched himself out of bed and ran to the living room. And we did some of our repetitions. Some fun little things we do around here that involve sound (currently, the city of KIEV is fascinating to him. He just likes the sound) and motion.

And then… His face went slack and he didn’t respond to anything for a couple of minutes. So I did the laundry. I figured he was processing.

Another unusual thing here is his wristwatch.

This is unusual because Builder cannot ABIDE to have things on his body beside the necessary clothing. He has rebelled vigorously when we tried a medical ID bracelet, and so on. But… He loves his wristwatch.

He is very much concerned with time. Constantly so. Having a watch gives him a very instant and accurate idea of what time it is. This is not a digital watch, either. He wanted ANALOG. He goes on serious rebellions against digital clocks on occasion, so now, he always has an analog timepiece and is satisfied.

Strange, how such a small thing brought such peace to his mind and our home. :) Oh, it’s not a permanent peace, but it has alleviated one small stress in his life — the deep desire to do away with digital clocks — and all of us are thankful.

I’m sorry, but this story is ADORABLE. I know that it’s a challenge having such a fascinating child, i’m not trying to belittle anything, but I get the biggest kick out of your anecdotes and think some of this stuff is just so damn precious I could squeal! I, too, must ALWAYS know what time it is. Al. Frigging. Ways. I understand his “thing” with it, truly. I feel unsettled and out of whack if I don’t know the exact time. Don’t you freaking DARE round up or down…give me the specifics. I’ve always been this way, so I can relate to it. Most times I don’t prefer digital because I can’t see seconds. Sometimes, well, I just need to see the EXACT time. And that’s that. *nods* LOL

Thanks, Tara! *grin* I do understand about the time, believe me. If I didn’t make watches die within a week of putting them on my body, I’d have one implanted into my wrist!

Glad you enjoy my kid.LOL He really is cool. BOTH of ‘em are. :)
