We knew Jacob was going to be happy. We haven't had much snow this year considering it's almost February and we live in Canada. It was too late to wake Jacob up and tell him about the snow (he'd just want to go play in it anyway) so we had to wait until morning.
When the alarm went off this morning, we woke Jacob up as usual, but today we invited him to look out our bedroom window. "Look at all the snow." He said excitedly. Now there was only about 4 inches of snow, but it's nice that something as simple as snow can help a boy with Asperger's, start his day on the right track.
So Jacob was great on his way to school. He even got his winter gear on as I shoveled the snow. As we all know, that with Asperger's, anything can happen. When I went to pick up Jacob at lunch, he and his EA came to the door together. But, Jacob wasn't wearing his coat or boots. "Come with us dad!" He said. At Jacob's school, were the authors of Ninja-Cowboy-Bear. All the kids were in the gym watching a slide presentation of their book. Their website is http://www.ninjacowboybear.com/ so feel free to have a look. This week is literacy week and my son's school has some special events planned including this surprise visit.
Of course, Jacob had a great morning and received a sticker for his reward calendar. Hopefully, he has fun this afternoon and does all his work. So it appears that the snow can help those with Asperger's.
