Wow. Last night was one like we haven't seen in a long time...

Some days autism sneaks back in. I haven't seen this struggle for quite awhile with Nathan. He was slowly beginning to obsess about a toy. A pez dispenser of all things. He wore it out. Once it broke he wanted it to be fixed (with tape) and wasn't happy that it could not be the same as new. He rejected any substitute measures. My heart was saddened. To see him struggle like this. Confused, upset and crying out for me to "help please". Then something miraculous  happened. After an hour of autism. He went to the drawer where the retired toys are placed and put in his broken Lightening McQueen Pez dispenser. Then closed the drawer. He did it. He faced autism and took control of it. He is a strong young man. I love him dearly.
