Words to live by---

These 3 things remain true to the "Journey of Autism". Anyone or everyone can advise you;

ULTIMATELY you MUST go with what you feel is right. "GO WITH YOUR GUT."

Once you have arrived at this decision; "NEVER GIVE UP"!

LASTLY "Ya Gotta do, what Ya Gotta do!"

"The Transporter"

Well I have certainly posted enuf "bitching and frustration " so I guess its time to move on for now---

My son has become "the Transporter" Its is the funniest thing. Dakota was never a child that crawled into cupboards or dig into closets. He was not a climber or a seeker. He never bothered things on a coffee table or explored the kitchen. As he has gotten older he has become unusually insistent on having something--ANYTHING in his hands at all times!

The item of choice seems to be a tube of any substance hair gel toothpaste shampoo. Or the other preferred item is a plastic bottle of any thing that shakes--- Again shampoo, bath gel ,mouth wash anything that shakes and makes noise and bubbles--Often times I find him with several items in his hands--which can include perhaps a comb ,a writing pen and toothpaste in one hand and a bottle of body wash in the other-- Its quite comical and intriguing to me the combination of items.

What I have notices with this obsession is that things move all over the house-- we have on room that has a variety of strange items in it and one day you walk out to the kitchen and there's a small candle sitting on the counter. Or you go into the bathroom and find a coca-cola bottle--?????

The biggest obstacle is that sometimes when you go to use something that was always in the same place is gone ---The first words out of my mouth are Oh "The Transporter has struck again!"
