When you have an Autistic child and a typical child in your home, there are many things that are non typical.
Reed has said to us on more then one occasion that sometimes he feels like an only child. He doesn’t have a brother to play with like typical families.
There isn’t much catch in the yard, or wrestling, or bonding. But when it does happen it is a sight for sore eyes. The times that Carson does want to engage with Reed, there are memories being made that both boys will always have. Even if Carson can’t verbalize how much fun he is having, the smiles and giggles are all the words needed.
Today the engaging initiated by Carson was even better. He wanted to play with Reed and two of the little boys I babysit. These 2 boys have been a part of our family since they days they were born and even Carson knows they are his family. He is their “big brother” . Today he was watching Reed and the boys wrestle around and he wanted to get in on it. There was 4 giggling boys and it was music to my ears. And the smile on Carson’s face says it all. He loves making memories with his brothers.
