If only ASD adults were as easily fixable as cars with flat tyres...

But yes, it's a bit like telling one that their engine may explode any minute, it's not desigend to work under such pressure, but as it didn't explode yet, it will pass. Come back after it explodes, we'll try to save some scraps of your car if any survive.

You guys! I love this car analogy! Brilliant!

It takes a huge amount of effort to run the car on all 4 flat tires. Now even more with my son also displaying “flat tire” symptoms too.

Yesterday he started with some persistent behaviors, growing very impatient while I was driving and I had to be very calm. I know he is frustrated, I understand his frustration. I’m dealing with my own frustrations while driving. Traffic, driving through a new route that I had never gone through before, feeling very tired, going to a place I didn’t want to go. So I’m trying to calm him down and concentrate on the road, and stay calm myself, all at the same time. It takes a lot of energy. Does it make sense?

Yes, mountain goat. High pitch children talking loud in the backseat, and asking you questions while you are trying to follow the GPS is quite the task....

I don’t usually listen to music in the car either.

And I absolutely hate driving on a path that I’ve never been before. If it’s a quiet road, it’s not so bad. But busy unknown highways are so stressful!
