Well he was champing at the bit for his dad to pick him up today

Because he is also on the upper range of autism he needs to know what's happening so he can organise his brain to set his mind

I had a text to say daddy would be at ours around 3.30 so he was thinking he should be here then

He got agitated when daddy missed the 3.30 pick up and he was constantly at the open front door and then sitting in the porch , I had to say close the front door cos looking for daddy isnt going to get him to turn up . He is more likely to ring the bell when you don't expect it

Soo his daddy got here at 3.45 and my was kieran happy . Miss you daddy ,thank you nanny for having me. But can we go !!!!

See you on sat love you big hugs and waves as he went home with daddy

He is such a lovely lad , has difficulties and now moodies cos he 16 but not understanding what his body is telling him . He knows he has feelings but doesn't understand how to deal with them . It's very difficult explaining to him that certain things are private
He says he understands but he still gets instinctive reactions that are not appropriate

Difficult for all who try to keep him focused

How lovely for you and your Grandson, Shirley, that you can have such good times together, and that he is treated so well at the restaurant. Wish him a Happy Birthday from me too please and enjoy his company for the rest of his stay.

Sharron that is so good to hear. There are some very nice people about who take the time with people with learning difficulties etc. We have a twenty eight year old daughter with Aperts Syndrome and Autism. We meet some very nice people and some not so nice.

I have our step grandson here for a couple of days in his school holidays

This is the 16 years old lad who has learning difficulties so has an age perception of about an 8 year old

He absolutely loves our cat Mr Tibbs who is 3 years old . I have to remind him not to crowd Mr Tibbs who can nip or be play aggressive .

We went shopping today then for our usual lunch out at the local beefeater . When we went in the staff greeted him with high fives and how are yous and where do you want to sit. He likes to see the chefs serving up the food and champs at the bit for his dinner of sausage mash peas and gravy . He has his pudding !! of Apple Betty and custard and eats all of it

So we had our meal and were about to leave when the staff came to the table and sang Happy Birthday to him because he is having his 16th birthday soon . They are all so genuine talking to him and listening to his responses even though sometimes he is difficult to understand because he has undeveloped mouth muscles which are part of his syndrome .

It's so nice that people can be so genuine and not just pay lip service
