Not only because it’s too darn HOT – I hate the heat – but because there are so few activities, or camps, or day programs, for kids with Asperger Syndrome. However, here in our area of Ohio, we have a kids psychiatric center – Belmont Pines – that has a day program (camp) for our kids! It started 2 weeks after school let out, and ends 2 weeks before they go back to school. Just right!

Ed goes Tuesday – Thursday, and has a blast! Not only do they do the regular day camp stuff, but they also see their psychiatrist once per week, and attend OT, PT, and speech (if needed) classes, socialization groups, and much more. He is doing fantastic, for the mostpart, although with any child with these disorders, there are going to be a few bumps. My boy is no exception. ;)

He is learning a very important lesson at Belmont Pines. He does not have a disability. He has a very unique ability to see the world in a different way than other people see it. He has grabbed on to that lesson and so have I. I am so proud of him (us)!

Having fun with his DSi and computer.

My son is really looking forward to it. These long summer vacations aren’t good for kids with his disorders. It’ll take him a few weeks at the very least to get back into the swing of things.

I’m glad he’s going back, to get him back into a routine if nothing else. It’s hard to keep a kid, any kid, on a routine during the summer.

He’ll be returning to Summit Academy for alternative learners. They have a new director, and he has a new teacher, this year.
Ought to be fun, since he hates change so bad. Keeping my fingers crossed and saying some prayers!

We now have 2 months and 3 weeks ahead of us. For most kids/families, this is ok.
For a child with Asperger Syndrom, and ADHD, this is not cool. At all.

God? Help?? :)
