Waiting for the Bus!!
Today Cade was comfortably waiting for the bus!! We got him his Dr. Pepper, Game Boy, and grapes. We must have made him TOO comfortable because when the bus finally came, he didn't want to go! Ha.
Cade has been doing so well in school! He goes to the same school as big brother Kam and his classroom is right across the hall. He loves knowing that he is at the same school as Kam. They meet in the hall after the bell rings and come out to meet me together! There is nothing better than that. Kam has been instrumental in Cade's progress and is very lucky to have him as his big brother!
Now. . .back to the bus! Cade has a little friend that he sits next to! His name is Adriane. Adriane gets excited to see Cade and usually shouts out, " SIT HERE!" Cade climbs up and, in his own way, greets him. Today Cade said ,"HI,"while looking Adriane in the eyes! Then, Adriane, babbled something and snuggled up to Cade, while looking over his shoulder to watch him play his Game Boy! Together, playing and watching until arriving at school. Mrs. Sandra, Cade's teacher said that that interaction continues throughout the class time! - - For those of you don't know, social interaction is one of the major delays Autistic children have. This spontaneous social interaction is HUGE! Somehow, these two boys have found each other reinforcing enough to attempt to do something that is very hard for them. Making a friend! WOW, the things we are thankful for! GOOD JOB BUDDY!
