For those families living anywhere on the east coast from Washington DC on up, it is (or was) one heck of a blizzard. For families with kids on the autism spectrum, snow days can be very tough. Not every kid with autism takes kindly to radical changes in schedules - or even to the prospects of sledding or snowballs.
How are you faring in the snow?
Mine loves the snow, we have to keep fighting with him to get him in long enough to dry out and keep him from getting frostbite. The little asthmatic has not asked to go out, “all” need sunglasses , this is one very white/bright day. It isn’t as epic as they called for, I measured seventeen inches on a pretty wind protected spot, while some drifts are about three feet, other areas are dusted…wish these were my driveway and walk..but no such luck.
My six year old LOVES snow! Good thing, because we live in Maine. We didn’t get much from this recent “blizzard” as we live away from the coast. But, every time we get significant snowfall, DS is out there building “snow people” and pelting me with snowballs! LOL. Its a challenge to keep him inside most days. We have had a cold snap, but things are warming up for Christmas, so I anticipate us playing outside!
