Like most parents, I find myself repeating things to my son. I get frustrated, stressed, and sometimes I feel like he is doing this to me on purpose. And I know he's not.
Then I thought about the things I don't have to do compared to what I had to a few years ago, I realized that he has made a lot of progress. But I don't give him credit for all the things he does on his own.
There are things that I don't have to remind him anymore. He remembers to go to school, take his things, remembers to do his homework, walk the dog, get home on time, and text me if something comes up. He tries to keep eye contact and tries to be more aware of his surroundings. He even goes to his therapy on his own and make his own appointments and actually remembers to go.
I should give him credit for what he has accomplished and I should thank him, but I don't.
Maybe I will today. I just hope it doesn't go to his head.

1001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Girls by Tony Lyons BOOK GIVEAWAY
In celebration of Autism Awareness Month and as a part of SOS Best of Best Book Giveaways, I am giving away 1,001 Tips for the Parents of Autistic Girls by Tony Lyons (co-author of Cutting Edge Therapies for Autism).
This book was very organized and easy to read with a little cheat sheet in the front to jump from topic to topic. It was refreshing to see a book for girls, and as a mom of a Aspie boy, it was still educational to read. Here is how you can win a copy.
Leave a comment or share your story on this post. And/or you could follow me on twitter, that would be nice. I will pick one person from the comments and you will have the book in a week. Be sure to leave your email so I can contact you if you win. This giveaway ends April 30, 2011. Good luck!
P.S. I will ship to APO, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Canada too.
