A simple faith

BJ sometimes requests for a prayer before he sleeps, and/or when he wakes up. One wonders whether it is his rigid routines and his rituals. Sometimes I also wonder whether he really know what he is asking.

But, i feel that it's a simple faith that he has. The innocent, childlike request for a prayer is just heartwarming. Allen was just thrilled with Bj's spiritual development!

It was a moment of silence for me. I am completely dumbfounded.

Anxiety Normalized

BJ's teacher mentioned that he was quite uncomfortable with "strangers" intruding his classroom. As a result, his anxiety was high and he got upset....

Anxiety in children with autism has been highlighted. Am just wondering whether it has been over-highlighted, and felt injustice was done. SO sms a fren to off load.... She managed to normalize it as all of us experience some anxiety given the same context (unless you are really extroverted and live on people), just that we cope with it differently.....

To tell the truth, I am quite pleased with the answer. However, am not pleased with the teacher's comment.

Is anxiety the problem? Or is overgeneralization and highlighting anxiety the real problem.

Have the teachers experienced anxiety before? Probably yes. But could they have explained it differently? I bet they have never known what GAD is and that type of suffering one has to endure inorder to get well.

My thoughts tonight. Sounds like teacher bashing.... sounds like i will write an email to them as well....
