Jonathan

Today is sort of a good day for Jonathan. I let him get a cat from my moms. He keeps her in his room. Jonathan needs to love something though not human beings. They want to talk and interfere with the things he likes to do. When it comes to people he could just do without them. Being social isn't his thing. That comes from the autism though. he cleaned up his room something he does ever once in a while. The main rule of Jonathan's room "Stay Out and Don't Touch Anything if He lets You Come In. And that is a big IF. Some days are better than others. Then they are days like yesterday that I just want to sit down and cry. When it comes to love Jonathan only expresses love to me. He has been like though all his life. He told me yesterday "Mom I hope nothing happens to you because if it does I will go crazy because I will be totally alone". What do you say to do? How do explain death to a child that has no empathy toward others? Its not by his choice its just a part of the autism. Do I worry? Yes everyday. To know Jonathan is to love him..
