It really depends on a huge factor of things, so in a way my own reaction to changes in routine is unpredictable, even by me! lol It helps for our loved ones to know how we feel, and give us the space we need to work through it.Quiet Contemplationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667867394641955283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-36918544166631593462012-10-27T09:24:16.533-05:002012-10-27T09:24:16.533-05:00I don't always see in color, but I do when I r...I don't always see in color, but I do when I really emotional.

I just struggled in that moment and to help me calm down and focus on my body and not on the confusion situation I decided to write what I was feeling, and share it to help others see what might be happening to their ASD loved ones when suddenly plans/routines change.Quiet Contemplationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667867394641955283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-92230694473494927162012-10-26T20:26:58.627-05:002012-10-26T20:26:58.627-05:00Yeah.

You nailed it.<br /><br />If I could get my boss to understand this....... :-(<br /><br />At least a couple of times a week I find myself trying to function through urges to yell, walk out, lock myself in the gents with the light off... the guy just sits there looking bemused (or troubled, or smirking, or... I just can't read him, which makes it worse and I get paranoid about my job), then he goes back to talking about stuff like its obvious & reasonable. IT IS NOT!<br /><br />I just feel all the time like I'm coming across as obstructive, negative, defiant. At least I think that's how it comes across.<br /><br />And all the time I just want to grab him and yell "draw me a damn diagram of that, please! And give me 15 minutes to take it in..."<br /><br />I'm sure he's just sitting there thinking, "what IS this nutjob on??? What's the big deal?"<br /><br />Some people you can discuss with. Some you just can't.<br /><br />Sometimes you can control the situation, sometimes all you can do is wrap your arm round a tree and hold on, keep nodding & saying "yes" until the storm blows over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-12950602214698384352012-10-26T16:15:02.584-05:002012-10-26T16:15:02.584-05:00Love it:)Love it:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-17512901693277008272012-10-26T10:56:19.675-05:002012-10-26T10:56:19.675-05:00I shared this with my mom because it is exactly th...I shared this with my mom because it is exactly the process that my kids and I go through when something changes.

I think it will help him understand what Daniel feels better as well. <br /><br />I see in color like that I do not know if you see words in color and shape, bold, etc.. or if you were using it for effect, but I do this in the physical and when I am at this point as you describe, I think that others can see the intensity of my thoughts and words. I was unaware of that until recently when Daniel shared that he thinks we can "see" his thoughts. <br /><br />Excellent post thanks so much for sharing!
