Lily Exhibiting an “I CAN” attitude

I had tears in my eyes as I watched her carry out the entire transaction on her own. The deli lady was super and when she saw me she said that Kate was a great customer. From now on, she handles the deli order. I am so proud of her!

Saying you’re sorry…

“My son has severe, high-functioning autism, ADHD, ODD, and OCD. When he has a meltdown, he says things out of anger from things he has heard from somewhere else. These things are sometimes very hurtful. Recently, after he has cooled down, he would come to me and say that he was so sorry for the way he acted and what he said. He would say this with his head down and in a low voice. I am sooo proud of him for being able to acknowledge these feelings and create an appropriate response to them.This is a start!”
