Our child has autism. Every one of us love him to death and all of us have worked taxing to make sure he gets all the resources available to him. While he is appealing to hang out with and talk to, there are some things he does that can be frustrating. Occasionally he will go to adjust the temperature control settings in the middle of the night and all of us might be covered in sweat profusely or cold depending on which way he adjusted the temperature control. When all of us go to confront him about things love this, he has consistently been brutally honest. If all of us ask him if he messed with the temperature control, he will tell us “yeah” straight up without hesitation. When all of us ask him why, that’s a whole different thing. He never absolutely seems to think why he does things love that, or he can’t explain it. I suppose it has something to do with his autism. I understand that the senses are different and occasionally you need hands on to learn about things, but perhaps he was just trying to learn about how the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C plan works. I ended up explaining to him all the different components and he was engaged. He was interested in all the names of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C components and I even gave him a little diagram that labeled everything. He already memorized all of the parts. I kind of think he would be a really skilled Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional if he absolutely wanted to do that. It’s something I will have to talk to him about down the road, what he wants to do ultimately in life.
