Camp and Asperger's

Camp and Asperger's is hard thing: the anxiety, the social cues, the expectations, the sensory overload.  I guess I never written about my son having Asperger's/SPD but he does and I am so proud of him at this moment. His first year at Boy Scout Camp he went for half the week with his dad.  At 11, that was a big accomplishment.  This year going to camp at 12, without his dad for three days was a leap of faith.  We knew he wouldn't make it the whole week, especially alone.  In retrospect, he is accomplishing a lot each year huge leaps for him.  I am really proud of him.  It is better to have tried and failed, than not to have tried at all. I love his troop because it is a small troop and, they try to understand his needs to the best of their ability.
