The Bowling Ball Incident

I have had some trouble writing lately.  Mostly, because my son has been doing so amazing in his new school that I am having trouble coming up with material. (not complaining)  He is happy again, confidence is building and he has three friends.  The three friends actually have names which leads me to believe he really has friends.  Get it?  This is a first...


He hasn’t redecorated the classroom once, books are pretty much staying on their shelves and he hasn’t stabbed anyone with a pencil since the first week.  Success!


Today, the tables were turned.  My son went on a bowling trip with his school and another little boy threw his bowling ball at his back.  Twice.  The second time the teacher blocked it (can you imagine how bruised this poor lady’s body must be???) but what amazed me was I didn’t even get a phone call.  I am guessing this Aspergers related behavior is so standard they don’t even waste their time on the email/call anymore?  Maybe it would take up too much of their day?


It got me thinking.  Was it bad that I was actually relieved that he was the one to get hurt and not hurt someone else?  I would never want my child hurt but I was beyond happy that he wasn’t the one throwing the bowling ball.  And, why on earth, are they taking kids with behavioral issues BOWLING???  With heavy balls?  Maybe mini-golf is more like it?


Don’t think I am an insensitive mother- of course, I checked his back and it looks perfectly fine.  I hugged him and kissed him and told him we all have bad days.  And I reminded him of his bad days and he paused.  I think it really got to him.  I actually think another little sad boy acting out might be just what my son needs.  And I hope, in time, my son just might be able to help the bowling ball kid learn how to breathe and count to 10 before throwing a 10 lb ball at someones back.  Maybe, he might even be friend #4.

    I am a married mom of 5 children aged 15, 13, 9, 8 and 5. Our 8 year old son was diagnosed on the spectrum at 2 years old and life hasn’t been the same since.  Marriage is hard without children, especially children with special needs.  We try and find the humor in the hard times and give each other space when we need it.  There are many times we want to throw in the towel (marriage is hard, right?)  but we always find out way back.  Together, I believe, we can make it through anything.  My husband is my rock and my sanity.  He is the most patient man I have ever met.  We divide our time between behaviorists, visiting private schools, trying to work full time jobs and every once in a while a date night where we get to fall in love all over again.  


    Raising special needs kids in not only a challenge on the marriage but for the rest of the family as well.  We do our best to keep them grounded and explain why our son gets special treatment but it isn’t always easy.  When I first agreed to write this blog, I was hopeful that I would be able to help one family.  Now I am thinking that maybe we can just help each other.  It is nice to know we are not alone on our quest to find answers, solutions, and to help our special needs kids grow up to be the best they can be.  Please reach out to me anytime.
