Yesterday was a good day for my son (9, Asperger's, 4th Grade).

Good Days are few and far between. Those are the days that I wish I could put a
shiny bow on them or maybe even frame and display somewhere.

But I will settle for giving my son a big hug while tears are swimming in my
eyes -- because for one day, he gets it.

That's wonderful! Relish those moments :D

Funny how we rejoice in the small things. That's what they teach us isn't it?

Sweet. Wishing you many more good days ahead, and the patience to wait for them.

Just had to say that your beautiful post brought tears to my eyes. I know too well what you mean. My son is also AS and is only 3 years old. He's been in preschool since October and has acknowledged that his classmates exist only 3 times . Each time (whether it be a hug that he gave to one of them or something else) his teachers have told me because they know what it means to me, I have cried tears of joy every time. It's amazing how something so small to someone else is so huge for us.

Congratulations on your son having a good day!

That's so awesome! We've had quite a few good days lately ourselves. It's a really great feeling, isn't it? :D
