Those of you who have kids with ASD know how the weekends can be. My kids are supposed to be with their dad on the off weekends, which hasn’t been happening much lately, so I am put to the test. The routine of the weekend is very disruptive for most of these kids. There isn’t school, and they have to adjust to the 2 day change-over. We routinely have movie nights, with popcorn and sleep outs in the living room….but this too can get old. Nights can be rough- so we avoid sleepovers and friends over to avoid conflict. Weekends are usually family time for most people – and this is also true for us – but also our most difficult time- as I am sure that my kids both have ADD and need constant movement. So – each week I try to come up with a plan that will work for all of us – but in the end, I am so glad when it’s Sunday. 🙂
