Maddie and Madison

Madeline had been agitated the past couple days every time she thought of her upcoming book fair. She was excited to get her books, but the thing which gave her apprehension was having to pick the books. Many kids on the spectrum have a hard time making choices when they have too many options. Maddie will often have a minor meltdown when it comes down to snack time and she has to choose between a few items in the pantry.

So I ended up going to school to help her through this process. At the end of the video is her friend Madison. Madison is a sweet girl who has been in Maddie’s classes since kindergarten. While Maddie has a hard time connecting with any child her own age, she always feels more comfortable when Madison is in the vicinity. If you asked Maddie who was her best friend, she would tell you Madison.

NOTE: My newest comedy cd was released this week. If you buy a shirt (on the side of the website) you will get Good Dad…Not a Great Dad free. They make great stocking stuffers.
