Dear Diary,
Today was a hard day. Christopher ran into
some big problems. I had to go to the police station and bail Christopher out
of jail for punching a policeman. Having a son with autism is so much harder
than I thought. I’m scared he’s going to get into more trouble. I feel
frustrated that Christopher doesn’t understand right and wrong sometimes.
Others don’t know how to talk to him. I understand the policeman was just doing
his job but I think he took it too far by grabbing my son. I really try my best
to be patient with Christopher but sometimes it’s hard. I guess I’m writing in
this stupid diary because I have no one to talk to. I know Christopher is a
good kid with a kind heart but he really needs to let the dead dog lie. I told
him “Just try and keep your nose out of other people’s business.” I just don’t understand why he can’t just let
it go. Christopher walk in while I was upset having a drink on the couch. I
really wish his mother was here to help me out with him. Christopher won’t stop
asking me if I’m upset about the stupid dead dog. I wish he would have never
found it. It’s a dog today but what will it be tomorrow. Because of the way
Christopher is he can’t let anything go and he’s all up in other people’s
business. I wish I had another parent that has this problem so I could talk to
them. Christopher is a very smart kid but sometimes he makes me crazy. He needs
to learn to listen to me because I know what is good for him. Christopher is a unique
kid and a big pain in my ass. But he’s my son and I love him.
