My son Tony writes

My son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. He doesn't have autism proper but was designated with PDD(Pervasive Developmental Disorder). He is 11 and has recently becaome expressive in writing. It reads like something a typical child in 1st or 2nd grade might write. He spelling has been preserved.

" My new Galloway School.

Ms. O'Quinn talks awful to me. When I do a little growl she sends me to mr. matt horrible room its horrible because mr. matt has a terrifine big loud voice when he yells that scars me because its loud and terrible. on pe days outside the Sun beats down on us. We go down where all the trees have terrible nasty yellw tree zap. on music days it is wonderful because our music teacher is nice not awful like my old music teacher vecause my old music teacher was talking awful and was mean. My new music teacher is nice because She gives us wonderful singing sheets that we sing with its music playing. "

Whoa!

What was I thinking. I got on the computer and was reading my emails and looking for new yahoo groups and checking my blog, when suddenly I heard airbrakes and a familiar rumble outside in front of our house. OH NO! I forgot to wake up Tony for his bus! He tends to get emotional in any kind of a pressure situation, because he is mildly autistic, and so he was crying since he didn't know where his shoes were and he was afraid the bus would leave without him. Totally my fault, but of course the bus didn't leave without him and all was well. Except he is wearing what he wore to bed. It's acceptable for school, but of course it is pretty wrinkled, and he looks pretty unkempt.
