Just a WOW moment.
My DGS7, who is on the spectrum, is really communicating with us, not just talking all the time, since school let out. It is really cool. He always talks a lot, and uses a lot of words, but says little. Now, he is asking how my day was, how my ill uncle was doing after I went to visit the hospital and generally taking some interest in the people around him. It seems without the constant sensory overload and stress of school, he has the energy to hold some two-way conversations. He is also telling me he has to do things in a certain order e.g. when he wakes up (his "morning routine") so I understand and will make sure he has the time to do this before we go anywhere. All school year, he never said a word about it.
And he wonders why we are homeschooling next year! I wouldn't give up the last few days for anything! WOW!
