Tyler's Intro to Kindergarten and a Freebie

Hey Everyone,

Well Tyler-Dean has his introduction to kindergarten. I sure hope being in school goes better for him than this. He was ready to call it quits not even an hour after we got there. But he did his best.... he couldn't stay focused, he tried cutting his fingers with scissors on purpose, he wouldn't stay still, and was a lot of work to try to keep him from bolting, I was quite proud of him. You're probably thinking why would I be happy about this kind of behavior and that you would have been going bonkers LoL. Yes, I will admitt it was driving me nuts and I was trying very hard to not just take him home because it was too much, but there is a method to my madness.

Tyler-Dean has PDD/NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder/Not Otherwise Specified). This September he will be going to kindergarten and they have assigned him and aide to share with another Autistic boy. The Autism Project (TAP), where Tyler-Dean goes regularly, and I are quite upset that he has to share as he is a lot of work for just one person and to have to share would put him at risk of lack of safety.

Now the reason I was happy with his behavior is that it gave the teachers and principal an idea of how much work he is going to be in school. They will constantly have to ask him to pay attention, make sure he doesn't choke (that is his big thing right now) other children, or even just dart off into no where land. (Tyler-Dean still wanders into traffic not knowing how dangerous it can be)

So we were there maybe half an hour and Tyler-Dean put on his coat, ran out the gymnasium door and scream ALL DONE!!!! and we begged, yelled and hollered at him to stop but he refused. I quickly apologized as I ran out the door after him and that was that. So here's hoping it might send a jolt to them and let him know he needs a 1 on 1 aide.

Well now that I am done my blabbering here is your freebie. I left the frames themselves white so you can colorize them if ya wanted. I hope you like my Grunge After Midnight. I called it this because it is well after midnight right now lol. I should have called it Grunged Grapes LoL.

*hugs*
