The kids went to their first Chicago
White Sox game on Saturday. It was
Autism Speaks Day and the White Sox gave $10 from each ticket sold through
Autism Speaks to Autism Speaks. I’ve
been wanting to take them for years – was mainly concerned about my little guy
and his pica – God knows what he would eat off the ground. It is always a crap shoot with them – one behaves
and the other doesn’t – very often it’s the one I was worried about that
behaves and the one I thought would be fine is not. Since Autism Speaks was involved for this
particular game, they provided a sensory break area and a quiet area for the
game.
The weather was hot – 88 degrees
and we were sitting in the sun. Of
course I forgot sunscreen and had to borrow from my sister-in-law and of course
I forgot diapers and just prayed the little guy would stay dry for a few hours
(he did!)
My older son who has PDD-NOS had
a few tantrums, mostly because he wanted to overeat – a problem with him
lately, he’ll eat until he literally makes himself sick. He was also overwhelmed by the heat – it was
getting to me as well, so we walked over to the cool and shady quiet area a few
times.
Sox lost, but the kids overall
had a great time! Something else we can
now do as a family!
