  1. I really hope that class helps your son. You’re such a good mom, Brandy. You’re doing so much to help him and I am sure he’s benefiting from all you do.

  2. What a GREAT quote by Paul. That is so true. My brother wasn’t on the Autism spectrum, but he did have several learning disabilities that were hard to overcome.

  3. I really like the quotes. I hope this turns out to be wonderful for him. I’m glad he was considered to take it and look forward to hearing more.

  4. It sounds like the class is a good fit and its great that you have people in your corner who understand. I know so many autism moms who struggle because they live in an area where their just isn’t good help or understanding available.

  5. Oh gosh, the talking to strangers thing rings really true with me. My son has social anxiety and some learning disorders and takes things very literally too. He would not speak to ANY stranger for the longest- even to say please or thank you! It’s still hard to get him to order food at a restaurant.

  6. Great post. Autism is a really difficult disability to live with. It keeps kids disconnected from the world around them – to varying degrees. I look forward to an update on the social skills class!

  7. Sounds like a great class. It is always about parents supporting the school and the school supporting the parent. You have to have both for kids to get the best possible opportunities in an educational setting.

  8. Good luck and hoping the class helps him to have a good understanding. I think it will be good for him to get the ‘non mom’ lessons 😉

  9. It is great that your school is offering specialized classes for autists. Too many are still hammering the square peg and wondering why no one is conforming. Keep up the good work!

  10. It’s so interesting that he wouldn’t deviate from what he’d learned about strangers. I didn’t realize that about being literal.

  11. My oldest is in a social skills group, he’s been in it for about 3 years now. Its definitely helped him make great improvements.

  12. What a great program! Hopefully it’s extremely helpful! Something like this I wish was offered all over!

  13. That is a fantastic program! I think there should be more education out there for adults about autism and what it is and how to handle it. So often people don’t understand it so they just don’t even bother to try.

  14. Now that’s true, why interact with strangers, right? I really hope he enjoys the rest of his class. More places need to offer courses like these.
