It's ok.
Tags:Just have to get this one down before it gets lost amid so many other stories...
When I got home yesterday I noticed that Simon is saying something new. Something I have not heard him say before. He is saying to himself, "it's ok" or "it's ok Simon" when he gets frustrated or bumps into something, etc. It is a phrase that has come out of my mouth many times before. As soon as he says it he seems comforted and makes moving on to the next thing easier. Comforting himself. Telling himself that it is going to be ok.
He said it a couple more times today in different situations and again tonight. Each time it takes my breath away a bit to hear that from him. It is such a good thing to hear.
And I hear myself saying, "Yep, it is ok buddy. It is all ok."

Ali, I always have this overwhelming sense of wanting to hug Simon whenever I read things like this - you must be so proud. He IS going to be OK - he's a legend!

Fantastic ali. Aiden's phrase is " you can do it." He says it all the time. When he is frustrated, scared etc. A nice little bit of self soothing. Love that.

Bravo for Simon!
Ali, for a child to learn how to comfort himself is a VERY BIG DEAL in child development. Not only is this cool, it is a fantastic sign that you are doing all the right things for him!

It is definitely okay.
I remember my boys learning to talk *now learning to converse* and it would catch my breath. We were told our oldest boy with autism would never talk so every word that came from that boy's mouth was a miracle to us. Now, at age 13y, he says words that maybe I wish he hadn't learned, LOL! Oh the stories I could tell you about words ;0).
It took me years to understand what Simon has learned already. It is okay to have autism.
