Cap and Gowns For All : Autism Vox – Autism from the Parents’ Perspective – Life With an Autistic Child (blog)
The first hint of the formality of Alex’s graduation from fifth grade to came in the cab on the ride to his school, when Jill’s cell phone rang. I heard Jill say the name of Alex’s teacher. “He’s sick?” I thought. “This morning of all mornings?”
No. Instead the teacher wanted to know if we’d gotten the message about dressing all the graduating kids in black and white for the ceremony? I had some memory of that but not a strong one — at this point in my parenthood only a drop of guilt can turn into a real past event in my head. Alex went to school in khakis and a T, and good luck getting him to wear anything else these days.
