Coincidences

[Guest guest]

Robbie is in what used to be called a PPI classroom (Pre Primary Impaired,

actually Putter's original ABA classroom was a PPI classroom, but that was just

for autism). Robbie is best friends with a little girl named Moriah, in the

classroom.

" I YUV Moriah! " he tells me every day.

When Robbie's classroom was split and half of his classmates moved with him to a

different school, my first question was, " Will Moriah be moved too? "

Because he YUVS Moriah.

And she YUVS him right back.

Today Ginger, Moriah's mother, called me. She was just wondering if I needed

any clothes for Robbie. Her six year old had just outgrown some. I told her I

did and we started chatting about how Robbie and Moriah YUV each other.

We have a lot in common.

We both have five kids, four of them boys (Moriah is the youngest for her and

Robbie for me). We each have a couple of kids somewhere on the spectrum. We

each have a child with Tourette's. Her husband and much of his family has

Tourette's and some of the issues she has dealt with are similar to what I have

dealt with in Lou (Tourette's and Asperger Syndrome have a quite a few

personality similarities) although her husband is a much better fellow than Lou.

However, their family has been through some hard times because he has trouble

keeping a job.

And we both had our last three babies at home, using the SAME midwife. So

Robbie and Moriah were both delivered at home with the same midwife.

I think they should get married.
