[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 454693, member: 11791"] You'll get better at this... but you really have to learn to see this coming BEFORE he gets there. School starts tomorrow. Even for PCs, that = stress. Positive stress for some, negative stress for others... either excitement or dread. But either way, they are WIRED. Pretty much every single kid on the planet (well ok, thats a bit of an exaggeration - I'm sure some kids don't care either way, but I haven't met them yet) is wound up the day before school starts - for some its a whole week or a whole month ahead. I've learned that the week before school starts, school has already started. Anything we want to do "special" before school starts, gets done more than a week before school starts. That last week? back to routine - school hours for bedtime and wake time, packed-lunch equivalent lunches (so we're back in practice making them), back-pack loading practice, working the bugs out of the schedule. And NOTHING happens the day before school - or we're in trouble. Maybe that's just our house... but your post was kind of like looking in a historical mirror.... it took us a while to learn. And we're not even dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (well, some traits but nowhere near clinical cut-off for even Aspie). [/QUOTE]
