Hold my hand..

[MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay]

My DS2 is 13.5 years old with moderate learning difficulties and Aspergers. He goes to a club on a saturday mornings and his older sister has always taken him (she goes too) and brought him back, using his bus pass (free for people with disabilities btw!)

Before Xmas she decided to quit club. Today he has asked if he can come home on the bus still. BY HIMSELF.

The bus stop is just outside the club hall and he has the same routine every week.. club, sweet shop next door, bus home with sister.

He has never been out alone!

I know he can do this.. his routine is fixed in his head. I will meet him at the bus stop . I am incredibly proud that he wants to try...

but I'm scared........

Oops - meant to say great news about your ds Medusa!

Haha, excellent training, DameEdna - stupid bloke shouldn't be grabbing kids in the street anyway!! I'd be too embarrassed to react, even though I'd find it really uncomfortable too, so thank you DS

I've been lurking too - am made up for you. Just lovely !

DameEdnaBeverage almost exactly the same thing happened to my boy when he was 10 at the Brighton Festival. We were in the Pavillion gardens, a performer dressed as a clown grabbed him.
Krakatoa!
Performer was pushed over a low railing, into the bushes and DS roared at him.
Poor bugger didn't move for about 10 minutes whilst I sorted things out. It was a learning experience for all.
