For a kid who loves pyrotechnics, Diver has always been nervous about the flame on the stove. So yesterday, when he informed me that I had left the teakettle burning on the stove and that he had handled it single-handedly, I was delighted. "I turned off the stove, got a potholder, cooled off the kettle in the sink, opened the window, and Mom, don't leave the house with the kettle on," said the kid who freaks out when a watched pot boils.
2. Mark on the yardstick:
When your son's therapist sees him in an LD (learning disorder, i.e. ADD, ADHD, LD-NOS, dyslexic) setting instead of an ASD setting. And that happened today. "Anonymom, Diver has come so far and really outpaced the other kids in his program. Typically the LD school doesn't take ASD kids, but Diver is in great shape."
Happy yardstick.
