Re: Re: Full-filled Intros and support

January 3, 2012

I've been working through week 2 of the book (since I preordered it, I had

it the night of the 26th on kindle). I'm to the part about overeater

personalities, and it really ties in with this -- I am absolutely the

Giver, and the Fraud, with, I think, a touch of the Abused.

I'm looking forward to learning to deal with that in better ways.

You are ahead of me. I'm taking in the week one ideas very carefully and

writing a lot in the process. Givers have to be very careful around asperger

children, the children can be very manipulative of those who are willing. Search

for ways to put more responsibility in his hands.

Well I did get the book 10 days ago

I've done a lot of writing as well. I'm taking advantage and claiming " me

time " to go lay across the bed with my kindle and my notebook and just read

and write. About 30 mins to an hour each time. I have a friend I'm

working with and I had a long conversation with my sister today about it.

She's planning to buy the book, so maybe we'll see her here soon.

And that's very true. He is manipulative. At the same time, in many ways

he is always stumbling around in the dark. It's frustrating to see it from

my end, but I can't even imagine what it would be like to be living in his.

I do try to place more responsibility with him, for example, he has a fish

and it's his responsibility to take care of it, and he also goes to Scouts

and that's been a big deal. It's actually remarkable how different he is

at Scouts. I want to find a way to capture that and bring it home. We

have charts and lists and stuff he is supposed to take care of. Sometimes

he can and other days he needs reminding of even the simplest thing. It's

complicated and no day is ever the same. But we are weaning him off me

operating as his frontal lobes (as his therapist has put it before).

You know what I say to 's class? Git in mah belleh.
