Mom called a few weeks ago and little one was getting frustrated trying to hold the conversation. She hardly spoke, and he tried so hard to engage her and nothing. We ended the call because it was heart breaking to witness when he got mad and yelled for her to " talk to little one." She often makes this demand that he "talk to mom" but offers nothing. As if a 2 year 10 month year old who only just started talking in June who has autism should be expected to carry and make conversation.

Last night she called and he just flat out refused to talk to her. There was no convincing him, he was happy to say good bye. Hubby ended up talking to her. She is off her meds which I could tell by the way she said hi. Her new little baby brother was just apprehended by CPS. Because her mom though perhaps 5x is the charm. She still has no lawyer, we are back at court on the 20th, and it's being set for trial.

At bed time he said nana don't leave little one. So I slept on his floor. That in its self was telling to me because he is so OCD about his bedtime routine, that he was willing to disturb it he must really needed me to. I wonder what he thinks, and what he remembers. I don't think he even know why he reacts the way he does. One moment he is happy go lucky, playing and engaging, then she calls and he just wants to sit, rock and be left alone. These calls are clearly for him to entertain her, and not adding anything positive or helping him in any which way. He went from happy to sad in the blink of an eye. The only thing it's accomplishing driving home the fact that he has a mom who is not there. She knows what that is like because her mom did that. We are going to ask for a contact schedule. And hopefully it won't be a lot. Because calling when ever she feels like is not working for him. The only consistency in her calling is that it's not. Sometime she will call lots in a short period of time then nothing for long periods of time. He need stability.
