rough morning so far

Mr David woke up in a good mood. And has been going non-stop. I wish I had 10% of his energy. Heck even 1%. He is so bouncy this morning that he has the whole house on edge.

#Autism does not mean less of a person

We had to run some errands this afternoon. As we were pulling off the freeway and stopped at a red light waiting to turn, Elliott noticed something. Elliott noticed that there was a man standing on the corner holding a sign. The sign said, anything helps. Elliott peppered me with questions as to what that meant and I explained that some people have much less than we do. Elliott was puzzled by this and asked me how it was possible to have less than we did. That kinda stung a little bit, but he didn’t mean it that way. I explained that sometimes people can lose everything they have and be left without much left. He then wanted to know what the sign meant. I told him that this man appreciates any help, no matter how big or small. Keep in mind, this whole dialog took place in the 3
