#11…It’s been an odd day…
Let’s see…What all did I want to cover?
Apparently I’ve neglected to share thoughts on Harley and Autism before now…
Going through the lists of ‘symptoms’ that I found on several sites online, Harley fits several (though not all) of the symptoms. Which is normal in such cases, as not everyone is going to fit every symptom.
Due to this, it’s very possible that Harley may be a high functioning Autistic.
Hopefully Harley will be getting evaluated soon, and we’ll know for sure, then know what can be done to help him.
[This would also explain why, when he was younger, Harley use to bang his head on the floor…As self-injurious behaviour (head-banging being one of those listed) is a symptom.]
Let’s see…The other things for the day…
Finally got to talk to Todd. & it wasn’t just a him answering the phone, and then saying he was too tired to talk, and saying good-bye first thing. We actually talked for a little bit. *smiles*
Still don’t know when I’ll get to see him again…Hopefully soon…He’s been working, and working, and working. *burns down B.C.P.*
Now…*pokes at the other strangeness of the day*
Those associated with role-play should know well the whole Peter/Orinda thing…Like the fact that Orinda is totally and completely mental…And totally and completely obsessed with Peter. She is not a personality that needs to be anywhere near the surface. Add to it, since I first seen him, James has been my image of ‘the young Peter’.
What I do not need is James poking at Orinda and trying to get her all stirred up. The thoughts that come with such, are thoughts that just should not be around.
I even told him a couple times that he doesn’t want ‘her’ to act upon the thoughts she has. I told him he’s suppose to be a good boy, and I’m suppose to be a good girl. I swear…He was trying to drive me crazy(ier)!
Seriously…He was so…Peter-like a couple times. *shakes head* That whole care-giver type thing. He knew I’ve had a headache for the last 6 days in some shape or form…I had a slight dizzy spell at one point, and he threatened that he was going to take me to the school nurse. I told him I was just dehydrated and needed some water (I had forgotten my water at home this morning). He got up, went off, and brought me back a cup of water. Doug asked him where he’d got it, if he’d gotten it out of the refrigerator, because there is cold, filtered water in there. James took the cup back, then returned with nice, cold, filtered water.
Walked with him to class…By the time we’d gotten there it was decided that I was going to ‘invade’ his class. I didn’t have anything else to do…And it was better than sitting out in the cold, as I tend to avoid the usual student places when I’m alone. So I sat in his class…And got to partake of the pizza party the teacher gave them. [Their teacher cancelled class on Election day, and told them if they all voted she’d get them pizza…Today was the day she had the pizza delivered.] I had had one piece of pizza, then James asked me if I wanted another one…I said I didn’t want to take it away from anyone else, he said there was plenty, then proceeded to get me another slice (to the ‘awws’ of a couple people in his class). *shakes head* Told you…It was just an odd day.
I need to get to work on assignment #6 for Creative Writing…It’s suppose to be ‘Point of View’. Basically we can use any POV we want…I think it’s just an excuse to write something…Pretty much all of our assignments are just that. I don’t know what to write about…Creative Writing is one of the classes I’ll (hopefully) be taking next semester too. [I’ve got to get ‘Instructor’s permission’ again…It’s annoying really.]
I’ve got the rest of my classes already registered…So it’s a go on Photography, Eastern Religions, and 3-D design.
Wow…It’s nearly 9 already! That is going to be the one bad thing about classes…All four days I go, I won’t be getting out till 5:10…So I won’t be getting home till after 6…Then the day (especially with stupid Day Light Savings time in place) disappears rather quickly.
Anyway…I think that’s about it for the moment. *glances over towards AQ Worlds* I so don’t need to go there…But it’s so much funs…*laughs*
I do hope something is figured out to help Harley. *huggles him more* I’m glad you talked to Todd! 🙂 See, no paranoia or worries. *pokes James* No being odd; you confuse my sissy. *lol* Still, that was sweet of him to do what he did. *nods* Yay for the finalizing of your class schedule! *HUGS*

Best of luck with Harley and all of that. I do hope they are able to help him out. *smiles* I’ve worked with a handful of students with some form of autism and if he’s a high functioning one, they’ll really be able to help him out.Light of heart,
