Office Visit

Jenny brought the boys for hot dogs in the park that is right outside my office on Monday. They had a great time chasing the birds and squirrels, and running on the rocks by the little stream. Dominic was a little to outgoing with strangers, pausing to say hello to everyone he met. Even Rowan commented (tattled) that he was talking to strangers.

Of course everyone then had to go up to the office and use the bathroom. As Dominic ran up and said hello to everyone, Jenny would explain that it was part of his autism to not really have any personal boundaries.

Since I have only told a few people in the office that Dominic is autistic, this was some news and of course required some explaining. As outgoing as I am, I'm not really that good at explaining or talking about Dominic's autism. It is easier because he is so outgoing and pleasant, but it is certainly not easy.

Anyway, now most of the office knows, and I guess that's a good thing because on one of these visits I'm sure he will have a tantrum, or not want to change from what he is currently doing. It will make explaining easier.

One more step in autistic parenting.
