From Where We Left Off in 2022

 



(Yikes! It's been awhile, hasn't it?)

Lots of things going on, but nothing really different that hasn't been written about before.

Just some highlights from where we left off here in October 2022.

(From Facebook Posts)

October 27, 2022:

DC and I went to get blood work on Tuesday morning (you know that this is not fun in DC-World).

I guess all of the “fuss” was worth it because he came out of it totally unscathed.

Over the next few weeks, DC will be obsessed with storms because it will be getting dark so early. He will be at the door, head cocked to the side, looking at the sky at regular intervals.

I put the remote down on a book that DC was not reading.
That is all.

Cabinet Decorating Became a "Thing" in October 2022:

October 2022
DC is decorating the cabinets for Halloween.

Dc’s “decorating” again.
I don’t think he is thinking that I might have to open that cabinet at some point.

November 17, 2022:
Thanksgiving is on Thursday (in case anyone else hasn't gotten the 879 reminders)

                                         ******
November 23, 2022:
DC’s routines are like clockwork.
We have gone through the reminding phase.
Moved on to the signing (not a typo; sign language) “Happy Thanksgiving” phase and we are now at the signaling me to “come here” (he always uses his middle finger for that - which makes me laugh - he doesn’t know why) and just pointing to the date on the calendar, phase.
Happy Almost Thanksgiving.

Skipping over Halloween and Christmas for now.
We'll get to them eventually.

In case you are new here: “I tell stories, most of the time; single individual stories about this or that. Some may be written with humor and some may come across as “Oh, look at the cute thing DC did or said” (he does crack me up at times) but my object is always to make people understand how his mind works, never to "make fun of him"

It is difficult to explain “his” autism to anyone without resorting to 1000 examples and 1000 stories. So I tell 1000 stories to make clear that there are other sides to autism than the characters seen in TV or movies."
