Just the facts

So Diver and I are driving to the library and outside we see.....

Flashing lights!

Fire trucks!

Police cars!

Ambulances!

Barricades!

While I reroute the car around the barricades into the parking lot of the mall across the street, I try to determine if the library is still open. Diver, meanwhile, is hyperventilating, "Mom, just park! Park!"

"Diver, please calm down, I'm doing my best," I faux-calmly state, as I pull into a parking space.

"Mom, I have autism!" he blurts to my face before jumping out of the car and rushing to check out the action.

Point taken.

And he's doing his best.
