It would really be nice if Logan knew when he should be afraid. They say many kids with autism have a sense of fearlessness and let me tell you Logan is definitely one of them. I tell you, sometimes he scares the shit out of me. He doesn't know that if he runs out into the street he may get hit by a car. It is a totally abstract idea to him. He does not think twice about touching something hot like a coffee maker while it is brewing. Tom and I are going to Lowe's tomorrow to get something to latch the door. If he gets out that side door, I never know where he will go. Sometimes, he goes to the fence that leads to the backyard. Other times I find him climbing my car. Then I got to thinking the other day, "What happens if someone tries to take him?" He doesn't talk enough to let someone know something is wrong. I know these are scary and depressing thoughts. I guess they just feel more magnified when you have a child with special needs. It is not like Logan would fight the person off. That just scares me so much. I hate the fact that I am that scared for my child. Maybe I am being paranoid or just overprotective but I can't help it. I feel like I have to fight extra hard for Logan. And that extends to other areas, like the school system. They are being really good about things right now and he is making progress. I have to make sure he gets everything he is supposed to be getting, right? I will not apologize to anyone for wanting my son to live in a world where he is treated fairly. He deserves to have the best I can provide for him, even if he scares the crap out of me sometimes!!! But I know he is not doing it on purpose. Well, everyone take care and God bless to all.
