Doing OK...but man is getting anxious about his birthday!
Troubles understanding time and length

Its almost not worth telling him its his birthday until the day of. Everyday he asks me over and over again, "Is it my birthday tomorrow?" We have made a calendar for him, counting down the days so he can clearly see how far off it is. Its as if he has no reality of time or days. When you say dinner will be in 5mins, he gets upset because he is hungry now, but if you told him after that, would an hour be better or 10 hrs he would be fine? I don't understand. We need to teach him to understand these concepts but its not an easy one for him.

I think we may need to tell him of big events a few days before, that way he is not disappointed everyday leading up to the event. Everyday at the moment is like one big disappointment, he just wants his birthday to be tomorrow and everything will be alright.

Another thing he is anxious about is the time he spends at school. He feels it is too long and is a big day. He is overwhelmed by spending his whole day at school almost as if it is hard for him to see the end of the day or understand time. I wonder if it seems like an eternity for him?
