Autistic love

Okay so today rocked socks even if I had to get pulled out of work.

For those who know me know that I not only have the joy of having a son with aspergers but a teenage brother with aspergers as well. Apperently my son has noticed when I'm over whelmed I have his uncle translate the aspie melt downs. Recently my oldest daycare class has been blessed with a young boy with full on autism. When this young boy first came into the class the other kids seemed to ignore him, but not my kid. A few days ago I was informed that my son has been a big help with this young boy's melt downs. Apperently certain colors and textures will set this boy off and when the boy cannot vocalize what is wrong my son will first get the offensive object away and then translate what he can.

Today during lunch(all the kids assemble in the cafeteria) a five year old went up to the boys and started picking on the boys. From what I gathered my son helped keep his friend's cool. He even gave up his chocolate milk which is his friends favorite. The teachers tried to get the 5 year old under control but the darling douche bag decided that he would take the chocolate milk and dump it on my their laps while screaming " LOOK THE RETARDS PEED THEIR PANTS". This is where I guess I should be upset with my son, but I'm not so suck it. My son tackled the 5 year old and started to beat his ass. I guess at one point the 5 year old decided to fight dirty when my youngest(2 years with cannibal tendencies  btw) attacked the 5 year and bit him on the shoulder.  The fight was over at this point since my youngest drew blood and wouldn't let go. After they got everyone into seperate corners they called us parents to come pick our brood.

Now here is my thoughts on today. I am super proud of my oldest for sticking up for his friend. I am proud of my youngest for looking out for his brother. I have given both boys better ways to defend that won't hurt the attacker but stun them. I don't feel sorry for the 5 year old, and any haters out there can suck it cause I'm a flippin sociopath.

So here's caffeine for my boys, their friend, and to anyone who is raising an autistic kid.
