Good grief! Every time something happens, Del (my 13 year old Autistic son) apologizes repeatedly now. He acts like we are going to freak out on him over small stuff. A few minutes ago, he came downstairs to tell me that he accidentally broke something.  Turns out, he pulled the curtain rod off on one side of his window.  Since the bed is right against that window, that isn't too surprising.  Nor is it the first time it has happened.  But he acts like he is going to get in major trouble for it.  I just stood on the bed and fixed it while he stood behind me, telling me over and over that he was sorry and he didn't mean to break it.  I don't think we have ever fussed at him over breaking something accidentally other than to tell him to be more careful.  Now if he breaks something on purpose, that's another story.  Then there are consequences of course.  It's going to be a long day since it isn't even 6 am yet and I have already been up for three hours.

This blog might be a very good thing....  I may have found a way to keep my sanity and relieve stress from the everyday chaos around here.  Hmmm.  Wish I had thought of this sooner.
