Ok , so some interesting things have happend. One is I am getting to know my son so well now and it makes me feel amazing. Some people say "I don't understand what he is saying" or "I can't figure him out". I don't think the point has ever been to figure him out . He is just who he is, just like the rest of us. But something interesting happend tonight. It was amazing, like finding out my child had a super power almost , except it was for real. I was helping him with his homework, at sort of a late hour becuse we had been sort of lazy during the day but anyway, the directions were for him to color the circles on the page and there were other shapes there as well. Square, heart and so on, and of course he was tempted to color those shapes but I had to tell him about how we somtimes have to follow directions even when we don't want too and he understood.
As he got to work (he is left handed by the way) coloring his circles, he started making an interesting and sort of loud sound. Kind of like a scratching sort of noise with his mouth and I asked him why he was doing that while he was coloring . His answer blew me away . He said thats the noise the crayon makes on the paper mommy. I was like wow ! I asked him if it was loud and he said oh yes, sometimes it hurts my ears. So my child has super sensitive hearing ! This is of course a new chapter for us, something for us to learn more about and work with and be excited about. Somehow I would like to help him make this something that can be helpful in his life and not harmful or overwhelming. I don't know if anyone ever really reads this blog but if you do and you have something to say that you think would be helpful, I would appreciate it . good night all.
