When I entered the room, I caught Nathan ripping apart a book. When he realized it was me, he jumped, looked at me, laughed and said, “Uh-oh, books are important.”

My autistic son’s mischievous personality is coming out and I’m loving it!

It was an old text book that I intentionally left with him. Ripping pages is a good motivation for Nathan to work on his fine motor skills…a developmental stage he missed as he was regressing into autism.
