Maz I will do it for you!!!

Mel, like Maz said, over the last month I have had to totally grieve my "normal" Matilda.... I've howled and sobbed and hid under the covers for a day. But I think now I look forward to learning about the world through her eyes. How she see's it.

Off that topic for a sec... do any of you notice that when you get together with other ASD kids that the kids tend to "get" each other? So even when they don't play well socially with "normal" kids, they do okay with other super kids? Matilda has had 3 plays with week with other kids on the spectrum, and they were all wonderful. 3 days at Montessori were horrible socially, and then she played with one boy with high functioning Autism and they got on like a house on fire. We didn't understand what they were doing, but they loved it. Today we went to a house with a boy with Autism and his brother had Aspergers and they all did so well together. Chasing and jumping on the trampoline, holding hands doing ring-a-rosie... stuff they wouldn't normally do with "NT or normal" kids.
