Mom you really need to go to sleep...you know he's planning some trouble. He really has no emotional attachment to tell when you need something or feel something...
Andrew had taken the others out for a while today so I could rest. For some reason I am having sensory issues, when the noise gets too much I am on total overload...BUT he left Harley home because Harley wanted to play PS2 and we figured he would stay downstairs and do that
WRONG!! Harley came a trollin' as soon as he heard them pull out of the driveway...pacing around, acting like he was watching tv, reading the newspaper...I knew something was up!
He went to his room for a while and I actually was able to relax...was about to fall asleep when I heard the rustling of a plastic bag in the kitchen. I called to him...what are you doing?....
Nothing mom...You need to sleep!! I start to get up off my perch on the couch and he starts to scream (talk about sensory overload on my part?!)...you gotta lay down...go back to the couch...go now...I need my marshmallows....
Ahh, I love the way autistics can tell on themselves without even a second thought! LOL

Just stopped by for a visit and I loved your story. I was wondering if you let him have the marshmellows :-)
Ah, yes, they were mini marshmallows and he got to eat 3 ... yes only 3...a small compromise LOL
