This morning Tc had a huge meltdown.
Over poop.
He had an upset tummy and ended up getting poop on his hand when wiping. Which led to a huge cryfest. I told him "Hey it's okay, we all get poop on us sometimes!"
I helped wash him up and told him to wash his hands really well.
I went back in the bathroom to see he had thrown a new, unused roll of toilet paper in the toilet.
And I lost it! I went into a tirade about how we "don't waste" and that was not necessary to throw a whole unused roll of toilet paper into the toilet.
He cried and felt so bad. Then I felt so bad.
He said, "I am going to run away and get a new family and a new life."
Oh the drama.
So I held him and told him I was sorry for getting upset and if he ever runs away I will cry and cry. And afterwards he said, "Okay mom, you forgive me and we are friends?"
My answer, "Of course. We are best buddies!"

Aw.
My son can be so sensitive as well.
*HUG* for you kristi! Somedays can be so hard, for both of you! My son hates to be dirty too! He has flushed whole rolls of toilet paper down trying to wipe! It took a few times before he stopped. Not great when you have a septic tank!
I get the guilt ... we all feel that way sometimes. You are doing a great job! :)
thank you for sharing all of your posts. I am learning so much about children with autism.
