#Autism: Pausing the chaos

April 23, 2012

I swear to God,  sometimes I feel like I'm living in the middle a professional wrestling ring.  The feature attraction is one Emmett John.  He's the chair throwing,  stair jumping, couch diving finger biter.

I don't know what's going on with Emmett lately but sweet Jesus, is he a handful.

He's actually a really sweet boy but at the same time,  he's like a really old stick of dynamite that could *go off* at any moment and for any reason.

I've lost track of the meltdowns today.

The other boys,  especially Gavin, really try to be patient with him.  Elliott really struggles with him because he is Emmett's primary target, in most cases.

So many times today, I wish I had a *pause *button for Emmett.  When he would get out of control, or cause trouble, I could simply pause him and deal with the problems when I had the energy.

I promise that I would share this technology with all of you, if only I had it.
