Asperger Mommy took a few days off this weekend. Asperger Daddy was so nice to Mommy...she wondered if he had had a fever or something. He took the boys out to a car show on Saturday while Mommy got to spend the day resting. When he came home he was so exhausted he needed a nice long nap.
On Sunday Daddy took Blue to a birthday party while Mommy spent the day doing her hair and her nails so that she could be ready to go see Janet Jackson -live in concert!

| Janet in her glory! We were in the 3rd Row Center! |
Janet was absolutely fabulous! More beautiful in person than she is on television or in the movies. It was the best concert that Mommy has ever been to.
She sang "Scream" the infamous song that she and Michael made together, while Michael danced behind her on a large screen. She sang "Together Again" with a photo montage of Michael as her background. This just about sent Mommy over the edge...
Janet Jackson - Song Lyric “Together Again”
There are times when I look above and beyond There are times when I feel your love around me baby I'll never forget my baby I'll never forget you There are times when I look above and beyond There are times when I feel your love around me baby I'll never forget my baby When I feel that I don't belong Draw my strength From the words when you said Hey it's about you baby Look deeper inside you baby I dream about us together again When I want us together again baby I know we'll be together again 'cause Everywhere I go Every smile I see I know you are there Smilin' back at me Dancin' in moonlight I know you are free I can see your star Shinin' down on me (Together again ooh ) Good times we'll share again (Together again ooh ) Makes me wanna dance (Together again ooh) Say it loud and proud (Together again ohh) All my loves for you Always been a true angel to me Now above I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby Wrap them around me baby Sometimes hear you whisperin' No more pain No worries will you ever see now baby I'm so happy for my baby |
Mommy thought she was back in her younger days. She danced and danced and jumped up and down until her knees said to her, "Do you know how old you are?" She screamed until she didn't have a voice anymore. She cried tears of joy and happiness because she was so close to one of her favorite singers ever.
Mommy fell madly in love with Daddy all over again, because he made this possible -for sparing no expense so that she could have this memorable experience. She kissed him passionately when the concert ended...and they lived happily ever after.
Until the next morning when she had to get up at 6:30 a.m. after staying out past midnight. When her Asperger son awakened from his peaceful slumber he said to her, "So...you just had to go to that concert didn't you? It's not fair. Why are you so selfish?" Back to reality!
Too many cocktails, too much dancing. Who knew there is still life after midnight? Asperger Mommy spent the entire day trying to recuperate...but it was well worth it!

And for those of us who knew and appreciated these points in high school to a greater or lesser extent - always good to have a refresher and feel them through the current and future generations who we survived to be able to see.
I especially appreciated points 5, 7 and 10.
And young women not settling or settling down yet is a good thing.
"It's never too late to live our dreams" - but it may be too early for some of them!
And 8 of course.

I was looking for information for my Multi-Genre Disability Research Project from my Early Childhood Special Education class on the web, when suddenly I came across your blog. I started reading this out of curiosity and I want to tell you that as you said yourself, you will not be Amanda Gorman, but you managed to make me shed some tears, perhaps because I felt totally identified with your words, especially in the part that you speak of your son. My son also has Asperger's syndrome, he is 19 years old and he is in the second semester of College. Also like yours, he takes classes from home, likewise my eldest daughter is also taking college classes from her room. At the same time, that I work as a preschool teacher from my kitchen through a computer, my husband sleeps in the room during the day because he works at night. Also in the afternoons I myself take virtual school classes. I am a 51-year-old Latin woman who began to learn the English language as adult, so maybe you find some deficiencies in my writing, however, I was very moved by how proud you express yourself about your son. Referent your mother, I liked the humorous tone that you give when your talk about her, so I did not want to miss this opportunity and stopped my assignments for a moment to let you know that your words do make a difference, since they reach the heart of at least those who have opportunity to read you. I want confess you that is the most long I have written to someone I don't know, because your words inspired me, thank you...

Thanks for this post. I've been very distracted of late and so this was how I found out about our friend Kate. Kate's struggles were very real but they were so constant and so wide-ranging that it was difficult for people around her to address them. I think it's going to take a while longer for me to process all this.
I learned so much from Kate because she was always quick to point out the many injustices in the world. In her glory days, she was very much a crusader and she cared for everyone. Over the years, as her situation took its toll, I came to realise that it was the fact that she couldn't be put in a single specific category, that made the system fail her. She needed help that they weren't set up to provide.
She needed more care and she needed to be less alone. I'm so sorry that this has happened.
For a long while we were corresponding almost every day but a couple of months ago, I realised that she had become so stressed that nearly every interaction I had with her was starting to trigger her. I backed away to give her a bit more space. She only had a little time that she could stand to be online and there were too many things that she wanted to do in that time. I thought that by taking a step back, she could reach out to more people who might be geographically closer and able to assist.
Kate was a beautiful soul and she will be sorely missed by all of us.

Many of these living arrangement aren't good, and many of the people who run those places really don't have the residents' best interest at heart. Those places are like old age homes and foster homes, where you sometimes hear horror stories. They're hard to trust. But then there are good ones, of course.
The best thing for an autistic adult is either to go on living at home or working and renting an apartment and living independently, but that isn't always an option.
