Distractions of the mundane mommy

Autism and High School Well its official, we have moved beyond the world of not thinking about what Autism would look like in adulthood to being smacked in the face with it. AGGGHH HELP. What it looks like at this point is that Caleb will have a Social Skills class, much like the one he has now, everyday. He gets 1 elective which for Caleb is always art. I can remember him being a 6 year old and we went to the Library. At our local library the is this statue with a little boy holding a teddy bear and my mom look at me and says "Mom, why do you think the artist was thinking when he used a teddy bear?" I have never been able to look at art and see those things so as you can imagine, I was shocked as well as clueless. Ever since then he is a very talented artist who blows my mind.
