Christmas party at school

The Wednesday before school let out for Christmas break, Andrew's class had a Christmas party. If you've never been to a party with 6 autistic children, well, let's just hope you never have to. There was too much sugar and too much stimulation, but overall Andrew did ok. Here he is on the swing they use for sensory therapy:

These next two are of him actually sitting down!! Let me just say, it was short lived.


And this is his teacher Ms. Becky. I wish I had a million dollars to give her....she deserves it.

Andrew goes back to school tomorrow and we're praying that he adjusts back ok. As you can imagine, we've been far from any kind of routine or structure so Ms. Becky may be in for it.

Ah, the autistic kids Christmas party...good times. Although, when WE did, it was 15 kids, and about half of them were autistic. The others had other more severe mental illnesses like Down's Syndrome and stuff like that. Boy was that an interesting party!!!
