My Beautiful Boy

School started back today and I’m enjoying the peace and quiet.  Although, I must admit I kind of miss them when they aren’t here.

The first week of school holidays was great, Coreys behavior for that first week was so good, but by the second week it all started going down hill.  I don’t know if it was because after that first week they started to get bored, or whether it was because he had a few late nights and was just over tired.  Whatever the reason, the behavior wasn’t good and I was really looking forward to school going back in today.

Trying to understand Coreys behavior is just so hard, perhaps that’s where I’m going wrong, maybe I shouldn’t be trying to understand it and just accept it for what it is.

I need to read the Parenting Guide To Aspergers again, I had a quick read through it when I first got it and then I had a quick glance at it the other day.  Just reading some of the issues that people have with their kids, they sound just like Corey.  The book has different situations or questions given by parents with Asperger children and then the answers to how to deal with those situations.

I must sit down and have a good read through it, particularly those sections that really sound just like  Corey.  It’s good too because it makes you feel ‘less alone’ when you read about others that have similar problems.

Well, it’s almost time to go and pick them up from school so I better get a move on and let’s hope that he had a good day at school today.  The first week back after school holidays is usually not too good, after a couple of days back they get tired and grumpy and it takes a few days for them to get settled back into their routine.

Thanks for reading
