We've been invited across the street to celebrate the 3rd birthday of our neighbor's child. I think. The handwritten note said, "We're celebrating K's birthday Sunday from 4-7. Please stop by."
Does the invite include Diver? In the bad-old days, Diver used to scare these neighbors, who approached me to express their concern for my safety. It's been a couple of years since Diver engaged in the behavior (meltdowns, yelling, throwing things) that scared them. It's 4:00. We're off.
7:45 pm. Diver did great. There was so much for a child with autism to navigate: heat, crowd, noise, strangers, long waits, little kids, nervous mother. He was a perfect gentleman; courteous, helpful, thoughtful, funny. He could have done it without me. And that's the goal, right?
