For my autism parents out there, here’s proof that sometimes, progress just takes a year. Last year: chaos and crooked hair clippers. This year: calm vibes and Thomas the Tank Engine monologues. Progress doesn’t always look polished. But it’s worth savoring.
Last year our back to school haircut routine Pure chaos. But this year, last night it was a totally different vibe. If you've been working on something for a long time and it feels like there's no progress, don't forget you'll get there.
My autism parents out there. Here's a tip for you. Sometimes it only takes a year for things to get a little bit better because last year our back to school haircut routine Pure chaos. My son spent most of the time trying to play squish mom while I was wrestling with our hair clippers. But this year, last night it was a totally different vibe. He was calm and focused and instead of chaos I got a full on Robert De Niro impression straight out of Taxi Driver. Not you talking to me. I mean he was talking about Thomas the Tank Engine but honestly Thomas has never been so gritty.
So yeah, progress doesn't always look perfect or polished. Sometimes it looks like slightly crooked lines on a 17 year old's high top fade but way less stress than the year before. So save this. If you've been working on something for a long time and it feels like there's no progress, don't forget you'll get there.
