That is Gavin. Gavin is my 24 yr previous autistic son who has just lately begun constructing his personal grownup life. This previous week Gavin known as me from the break room at work and was extremely upset. He was not making an excessive amount of sense and solely after calming him down might I actually perceive what was occurring.
After a couple of minutes, I used to be ready to determine that his telephone wasn’t working appropriately and he was freaking out as a result of he favored watching YouTube on his lunch break. He was pissed off as a result of this disrupted his routine and he doesn’t like that. He was at present calling me from his watch as a result of his telephone battery had died and he didn’t know what to do.
He had a couple of minutes earlier than he wanted to clock in and fortunately it was sufficient time for him to regain his composure.
I defined that we might get his telephone changed however for the second he wanted to concentrate on work as a result of his group was being evaluated that day. In hindsight, the analysis was in all probability creating some nervousness and stress for him. His telephone not working was just like the straw that broke the camels again.
Elliott and I had been out working errands and determined to cease in and ensure he was doing okay. He was shocked to see us however was in an important temper by that point. I let him know that his new telephone was ordered and he would have it quickly. He didn’t thoughts ready so long as he realize it was taken care of.
The remainder of his day improved and he ended up getting a 99% on his analysis that day.
Even when our children turn out to be adults, we by no means cease being mother and father. That is very true when our kiddos have extra wants. Gavin’s come a good distance and I’m so pleased with him. Generally, he stills wants slightly additional assist. Fortunately, we acquired by way of this little hiccup and every little thing labored out.
