Not much of a birthday
Well, my little boy is 4 today and he really hasn’t had a very good time. The autism ain’t the problem. He would have had lots of treats at nursery this morning and a fun outing to the swimming pool this evening. A couple of days ago, he would have gone to his first session of a new trampolining club for autistic children that has started locally. But today is his fifth day of a flu virus. Since Friday, he has slept about 20 hours in every 24 and he’s hardly eaten.
He was a little better this evening and perked up enough to enjoy a chorus of “Happy Birthday”. We gave him a battenburg cake with four candles, but of course we had to blow them out for him. That wasn’t the flu, that was the autism.
So Happy Birthday, my beautiful cuddly little man. And I hope you feel much better very soon

My little guy is turning 6 the end of this month and he has, since Nov., turned into a candle blowing out little fool! I hope you guys feel better soon! That tramp club sounds like fun.

Thanks everyone. He’s loads better now and went back to nursery this morning. They’d saved his birthday treats for him and gave him a belated “Happy Birthday”. And even better, they told Mr. BK that he’s started to use “Yes” and “No” appropriately and in context. Well, more like “Yiyiyiyi” and “Nanana”, but who cares about the pronunciation anyway
