Weston completely missed out on fun Halloween activities. He enjoys seeing others dress up more than dressing up himself (although he thought his pizza slice costume was hilarious). He totally gets into the trick-or-treating, especially if he can do the "knock-knock" - the treats are really an after thought.
I was feeling bad because life got in the way and I chose not to put up any Halloween decor and had no time to go pumpkin picking or carving -- but then Weston caught a bug...surely a virus, I thought at first...but as it dragged into the weekend I figured it had to be something else. Doctor confirmed strep throat yesterday morning - sealing Weston's trick-or-treat fate...back to the sick room!
Another way autism can get in the way...I never knew his throat hurt; Sunday night he requested 3 crunchy chicken tacos...for goodness sakes, who'd eat hard taco shells with a firey throat? Guessing how he feels and knowing that even if he answers one of my questions, it's not reliable, ups the worry factor around here!
