We do lots of lists. If Cal is getting upset and wants something NOW that we don't have, like food of some kind, or is he is struggling to deal with an upcoming transition. We write up a list. This was our list of things leading up to our trip to the American Museum of Natural History. He dictated to me all the things that were going to happen. We would drive in 'mama's car', listen to farmer in the dell, see some butterflies at the museum in New York City, sit on some chairs (?), and Jude would fall asleep in the car.
It is particularly helpful if he wants to eat a snack we don't have. He is eager now to be the one that writes the lists, which are illegible scribbles of course, but he feels good about it.
