I work with a family and their five year old autistic child. I can't say to much on what exactly I do for confidentiality and the like but I can say a bit.
The boy I work with is sweet, when he wants to be, he's also a five year old boy and five year old boys can be a turd when they want to be. He usawally means very well and just has a hard time relating or communicating what exactly he feels and/or wants. He really is a good kid.
What's frustrating is my job is supposed to be helping to teach him and then on the weekend I work on his social skills with out academics. But lately he has been sleeping in over half the time my coworker and I have with him and then its a real row trying to get him dressed or out to the 'class room'. Or when he's out there we're having a hard time getting him to do things.
He's improved greatly from when I started working with him. He's better at talking, he's better imagining things, he's better copeing when things go wrong.
He really is better.
And he's better at getting around what we want him to do.
It's a stressful joy.
