As an autism mom, I'm thankful for the flexibility I have learned to have in accepting that things are rarely going to be normal at my house. We are very good at being unconventional.
Here's an example; this morning I caught Jason writing on one of our kitchen chairs with a permanent marker. I started to be annoyed...except that I thought it was soooo cute...among my feelings of,"How naughty!"
That, and the thought of how hard it is to actually remove the permanent marker, made me decide to just leave it. So we labeled it with his name. Then I had Caiti draw on a chair and wrote her name on it. Same thing with Garrett. So now we have unconventional chairs for my unconventional family.
