Chralie does them all so beautifully in his own way. I hope the BlogHer session went well and you had fun. I know both your guys will be glad to have you home. Isn't it nice to be missed? :-) And WHY do “professionals” persist in saying autistics have not TOM or can’t make social and emotional connections or express themsleves??

You deserve the time "off"! I have never had this problem with Bug. I think maybe because we have just gone and done whatever since he was born, it's "routine" for us to go places. That's alone, or as a family. Maybe that's a good thing, to make routine life "routine"... Have fun on your trip! You deserve the time “off”!

I wonder if he if feeling what we call "a disturbance in the Force". I hope the fellas have a good weekend and I bet you will come home to a boy very happy to see his mom and get some mom time in. I did not take extended trips or really travel at all, for years, then within a couple of years I had personal situations that required being away for a week or two at a time. We talked about it and put pictures on the calendar to show when I would be back and planned a few favorite things to take the edge off. The first time was rough on Eleanor for a couple of days, the second time not so much, and now she handles it pretty gracefully although it's only once or twice a year. Have a great conference and safe trip home. Charlie is lovable but also loving and loved.

I guess it's another opportunity to learn to label emotions, connecting the word with a strong feeling... at least that's what I tell myself when my little guy is going through tough times. Always looking for the good within the bad. Hang tough and have fun! Poor Charlie.
