Wow what a wonderful day K is having! It is pretty typical for her to struggle to be in public. For the most part, people (through no fault of their own) scare the living crap out of K. She deals with this by telling them "get back" or just screaming bloody murder.
Today, however, she is the biggest lover ever! I had two clients today and she gave them both hugs and kisses. I wasn't too surprised because they are people she knows. Normally she stays out of the salon and ignore my clients, but not today.
Then we went to wash the car and she was blowing kisses to the elderly man in the next stall over! I think he liked it because he said "well hello darling!"
After that we went and gassed up the car and she wanted to help. She pushed the buttons I told her to and held the nozzle for me. Then she ran around the pump and gave the lady on the other side a big high five. I'm not sure if it was a high five for the lady or for herself... but they both were happy and smiling.
Then we went to the health food store and she was dancing in the isles and singing. The ladies there know her and are always kind to her. Today she kissed Cassey, June, Aleasa, and 3 customers... It seemed to make every one happy.
I am just so very grateful for people that are good sports and let her be the Angel she is.
I kept thinking "Who is this happy Friendly child???" I hope we see more of her....
The road of Autism is long. These are the small steps and huge milestones one Angel has made.

The good news today is that Angel went into the bank and the post office with out a melt down. In the post office she told people to "get back" when they got too close to her. I said that she should say "excuse me please". So then the little turkey turns to the lady next to us and says "Excuse me please? get back!". LOL! Thank goodness the woman was a good sport and we all laughed. I never get sick of hearing words come out of her Angel mouth... and when they are situation appropriate its even more sweet.
