SLOW DOWN!

These two words, slow down, could apply to so many things in our lives.
My driving.
Dallin's Garfield jokes.
Dallin singing the Beatles.
Jackie's back kick-overs.
The eating of Easter candy.
Church callings.
The use of electronics.
Schedules.
I'm shocked how little it takes to put me over the psychological edge!

Asperger's, IEP Meetings and Transition to High School

UGH!


Can I believe Dallin is going to be in high school?  NO.
Can I handle another serious change in his life?  Possibly.  OK, yes.
Can he handle another serious change in his life?  Possibly.  Maybe.  HOPEFULLY?

I can't bring myself to say yes to that one, because I don't know the answer.  That's the thing with aspies, you can't know about the future.  Focus on today.  But with "Transition Planning Meetings", we are basically trying to plan a future in HS, with supports in place that he will need in order to be successful, not have a depressive breakdown, and not bring havoc and rage to our family.

Although, ideally, I would like him to be hopeful, and faithful, and JOYFUL in Christ, right?
