As I was riding home from the studio after appearing on the Nancy Grace Show Thursday night, I called home. Nick answered the phone and I asked, "did you watch me on tv?" He said, "Mom, purple is NOT your color. You should have worn red." Then he hung up on me.
I called back. Nick picked up the phone and said, "Mom, I am mad because if you are going to be on live tv, I should be on with you." I thought to myself, "Nick, you are the last person that should ever be on live tv without at least a 10 second delay. He hung up on me again.
Almost immediately, my cell phone rang and Nick said, "Mom, autism is NOT OK!! I want to be NORMAL!!" He was shouting at that point. I said, "Nicholas, you are exactly the way that God intended for you to be. You are special to Him and very special to me." He said, "OK, Mom. Will you buy me something on your way home?" Just another chapter in our crazy, topsy-turvy world.
