This is me with Ryan decorating cookies for Santa (and us). Ryan went to day 2 of Middle School today; his first year of school with no one-on-one aide. This is, of course, harder for me than it is for him. Adjusting to an entirely new school with all new people is tough for ANY kid, let alone a kid with Aspergers. Today he had to go to PE for the first time. He can only change his shirt for PE, because he wears braces, and if he comes in contact with any rubber (balls, etc.), he runs the risk of an anaphylactic reaction (throat closing up), as he is severely allergic to latex. AHHH what a relaxing day for me.....not
