I can't get John Robison's latest blog post out of my mind. John is an adult with Asperger's and this piece beautifully describes what he deals with internally during certain types of social situations.
John is a very accomplished adult with a lot of experience to draw on. Imagine what it's like for Riley who has just turned seven?
The piece really helped make sense as to why some situations seem to work for her, and others turn out to be disasterous.
Reading this post was like happening upon a great treasure.
What a blessing he is for sharing his struggles with such candor.

I feel the same way about my Mia - why she gets upset and says "Time to go home!" Perhaps John told me what my own child is feeling, since Mia can't tell me herself? I feel like John is a channeler, like that Joh Edwards psychic guy (not the politician) telling me about my kids from "beyond."
I can't wait for Look Me In The Eye to debut. It really could change thinking for our kids.
must read his book!
MUST.
His post was very poweful,and I can't wait for his book to come out. I already have it pre-ordered on Amazon.
He is an amazing man.
It's such an insight to actually know what my friend Jeffrey goes through and is unable to communicate it.
Thanks Michelle.
