Loud Noises

This morning there was a knock on the door. I was half asleep but it was firm and insistent. I got up and one of the brothers from church was calling. We talked for about an hour. Well I talked, he’s a better listener than I am. I let him know how our lives are going and we talked a little about his life and his son’s. I gave him a book. It was a good visit.

The other loud noise today is Ben. He is making very elevated vocalizations. Not words. No scripts right now. He once yelled, “Kill the men! Kill the Elves! Keep the gold for ourselves!” in an IEP meeting. But today it’s just empty chatter. That can be an advantage. When he’s loud I can tell he’s in the house from upstairs. He’s good.
