What is it like? I wonder and hope that I understand him.
I know what it is like to be a teenager
Out of control/In control
Knowing all and being smug
Knowing nothing and being scared
But his mind
I do not know what I think I know
He "doesn't know" either
Last night, frustration over a small thing
Erupts into a small (for him)
Big (for others) Tantrum
How does this work?
This Asperger thing?
Why and how and where
I clean up part of the mess (new carpet!)
He storms downstairs, still not calm
I talk calm but firm
(He will have to clean up the rest of the mess)
The mess that was a cause/consequence of his frustrations
He goes upstairs to his room again
Glaring is something he does well
Later.
Calm and cleaning up
This is my son
I worry about him
I know he will be fine
This smart/sad/frustrated/anxiety-bomb of a teenager
This wonderfully funny/frustrating/child of mine.
What will he be like in five years?
(I don't know)

Holding you in my heart. It is so hard to help someone grow up. Doubly so when there are additional circumstances. Just sending a deep breath.
