I’m not ready. After
reading THIS…….I’m definitely not ready.
I’ve thought of the future.
I really have. It’s fuzzy and
vague, but it’s a general idea of “it will be ok” kind of thing. I see his father. He is an Aspie. He can semi function in society at
large. But when I think about it
more………I’m the one that is functioning, keeping us all together – afloat.
The Hubs - It takes him forever, but he gets himself up,
gets ready for work and gets himself out of the house…….mostly. On the days he doesn’t…..well, he calls in
sick or a vacation day. He has ample time, so he uses it often. If I were his
boss, I would have already fired him. This has been happening for years, it’s
not new, it was his routine for school too.
He does not cook dinner – it’s not in his “routine”. If I am
not home for some reason with Little Man, he will wait hours for me to bring
home food and starve, then to cook something for himself and go out and pick
something up in a drive-thru. The second I come home, he is hungry, even though
he might have been home for hours. There
is a big white box in the kitchen…..a full pantry…..he could start dinner.
He could help with homework.
He is SUPER smart! He is actually
one of the smartest people I know. I think
he could do second grade math. But as I
am struggling to make dinner (“yummy, home-made dinner from scratch” since
nothing else is good enough for him) he is sitting watching tv.
THIS AND SO MUCH MORE………..
I’m thinking – this is NOT functioning……how is he going to teach my son
how to function……I’m NOT READY – maybe ready to cry – but not ready for the
future!
