Jessica and her weekend

This past weekend was one of those special weekends in the world of Autism that you just want to bottle.  One of those weekends when your child is open to anything you suggest.  Get a haircut?  Sure!  Take a shower?  Why not?!  Take a ride in the car with no agenda?  Well of course!

Jessica was happy, and willing to accept whatever the weekend had to offer.  She ate meals with the family, and actually ate the same thing we were eating.  She took an unscheduled shower on Sunday, which normally would have thrown her off. Jessica was the first one with her shoes and jacket on as we were going out the door.  It was truly a thing of beauty.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every day was that easy?  Here's hoping that your family gets the same kind of magic mine did.
