My DS will be starting highshcool tomorrow. He's got Asperger's Syndrome and, while he's excited, I'm worried and nervous. My heart breaks for him quite often because he struggles with day to day things that I take for granted. The best way to describe it is that he's a foreigner in any environment that is not a regular part of his routine. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to struggle with simple tasks like completing a transaction at McDonald's, yet at almost 15 years old, this is difficult for him. We've been practicing at various stores for a while now so that's getting better but it is just one example of an area of difficulty......
To top it off my baby will be starting kindergarten tomorrow too! Now that is definitely bittersweet. She's a bit shy but I know that after a few days she'll be fine and I won't have the same worries with her as I do with my DS.
Why am I posting about this? I guess the double whammy is bugging me more than I thought it was even though I know all will be fine in the end.... So thanks to you all who have taken the time to listen and to any of you who might have words of advice and/or general wisdom!
