memory

Alec is developing or actually has the most amazing memory. It has a lot to do with organising things in his head, making sure things are predictable for him. He knows how to get places, down to each turn that is made and land mark passed.

While he had no concept of time passed and such things as today, tomorrow, yesterday and this morning he can recall whole events as though they happened 20 minutes ago. This morning he asked me which way i was driving him to school, I told him the usual way, he laughed and said silly daddy, he drove me the wrong way to school, he went that way, we don't go that way to school. Well the last time Michael drove him to school was in August when I was at Kiwi Scraps, poor Michael it wasn't too funny for him as Alec had a complete meltdown, the stress of me not being there and then going the wrong way was too much.

He can be terribly adaptable though, we do park in the same place all the time when we go to ocean Keys, in the dark by the lift, unless Alec says he wants to go up the travelator.

Now when we go to EI he asks before we get off the freeway which way we are going as we do EI at two different venues.

This is just another part of our lives now, someplaces we can't go because the stress it causes him is too great but he is making progress. We are learning..
