Autism’s “quirks”

Apparently, someone had spilled a tiny bit of water on the floor at the top of the steps. Emmett went into a panic and would not walk over or around the tiny spill. Instead he started to scream which lead to him sobbing.

I had to go upstairs to physically pick him up and carry him over the little spill. I didn’t even know what was wrong until I got up there and saw what was upsetting him. I’m not sure what this was all about but I would guess it’s similar to his aversion to getting his shoes wet.

Thought I would share this with you all today. I thought it was pretty interesting as I haven’t seen this particular quirk before.

Any insights?

Maggie, clean up in isle 3

I love Maggie I really do. I love the fact that she is there to clean up all of “life’s little messes”. The kids drop food and she is right there like a super hero vacuum clear to suck it right up. If the kids spill a drink she’s right there to lick it up without even being asked. Tonight when Emmett puked up his dinner all over the floor she fought her way through the ensuing chaos to clean up “life’s little mess”.

Actually, I don’t know if I should love her for that or be disgusted by it……..

Oh and Emmett is feeling much, much better now that he pee’d in the bath water. You’ll be please to know that he is now resting comfortably in bed probably dreaming about his balls…..Ya know the ones from his ball pit. What did ya think I meant?  Never-mind. Get your mind out of the gutter…. Honestly.
