Watching the Parenthood; one of the young boys on the show has Asperger’s. Tonight’s episode is where they tell him about his diagnosis. We have not told Nick about his Asperger’s, it’s been weighing heavy on my heart and mind for weeks. We just never knew when the right time to tell him would be. I’ve been waiting for this episode of The Parenthood for a couple of weeks now. I’m hoping it will give us some kind of direction.
We have lots to think about, I have lots to pray about. I did find something that I really like, I was very excited about it this afternoon and it made me feel more comfortable about having a conversation with Nick. I think it might even be good enough to share with him; I think it might make it easier for him to understand how and why there are difference between him and some other kids his age.

So, here’s what I ate today-not bad for and emotional chic. I hear Rob Wolff is on Nightline tonight, he wrote a book called The Paleo Solution. I’m hoping it is on tonight and I’m not staying awake for nothing J
End of the 3rd fast…not to bad! Looking forward to breakfast in the morning.
1100 steak, cabbage, mushrooms
200 Protein shake
730 Steak, salmon, salad, asparagus
I thought about you while watching Parenthood. I have come to really like this show. I think having an Asperger character helps more people to see and understand a little glimpse of what it means for parents and children in the real world like your family.
ReplyDeleteI thought the cartoon info under link was very good description. It helped me to understand a little more.
There may never be a "right time", and you may have the conversation multiple times. Pray over it and let God lead you.
Keep up the AWESOME PALEO drive!
