Big Daddy Autism

From the author of Big Daddy’s Tales from the Lighter Side of Raising a Kid with Autism comes his wee-quel, Son of Big Daddy, with more stories, insight, and hilarity taken straight from his life with teenage son Griffin. Big Daddy is joined by Lynn Hudoba, the blogger known as Autism Army Mom and editor of and contributor to Wit and Wisdom from the Parents of Special Needs Kid. Together they cover topics such as their kids’ obsessions and anxieties — including thunderstorms, cats, power outages, cell phones, and bank slips – the prospect of them marrying, charitable fundraising, and the cast of fellow special needs parents encountered in therapy waiting rooms. Life with an autistic child can be challenging, maddening, and exhausting, but these bloggers choose to focus on the joys that come with accepting their children for exactly who they are: funny, perceptive, brutally honest, and special in every way.

Griffin loves yearbooks.  The type that kids can purchase from their schools at the end of each year.  He memorizes the names and pictures and pretty much reads them til they fall apart.  His yearbook fanaticism is not confined to his own academic year or even his own school.  He loves ‘em all.

.

When he is particularly well behaved in school, his teacher will allow him to visit Mrs. K, the librarian and keeper of all old middle school yearbooks.  Griffin is then permitted to take any of the old yearbooks from Mrs. K’s collection home for the evening.  The chosen tome must be returned first thing the following morning.

.

This year Mrs. K and Mrs. Big Daddy conspired to make this a very special X-Mas for Griffin by surprising him with a few of the old yearbooks that he could keep forever.

.

At this point I should mention that Griffin’s love and belief in Santa Claus, even at 14, is as strong as ever.  So on Christmas morning Griffin was thrilled to open up year after year of yearbooks from Santa!

.

After he opened each one he would exclaim;

.

“Ooooo! Santa stole another yearbook from Mrs. K!”

.

We assured him, as best we could, that Mrs. K was okay with Santa’s apparent kleptomania.
