The lamp and the teepee.

The other day Robin showed again a fine example of #autisme view. Robin had picked out a nice new lamp when I turned his room into a beautiful nursery. He also had a nice teepee who could now stand in his room. He loves that teepee and he often puts it down to play in there and put his cuddly bears in.. There's a lot more going in that teepee and he likes to hide in that teepee. No problem, play but have fun. Can't waad. At least in general, that does not hurt. Until the moment comes when he hits the lamp with that teepee and the lamp falls apart.

lamp from each other=lamp piece.

The lamp from Robin is made to be able to fall apart and put back together. Nothing wrong with it (in my opinion) and just put it back together. It's just as good standing firmly on a high chair and working beyond my power to get everything in the right place but. . . . . Yes, there is a very big “but”. I can't explain that to Robin. I heard some falling upstairs and thought, “I'll be fine, I'll look later.. I don't want to sit right on top of everything, and it's his own room so what falls is his own and if it's broken then it's his own story. What I didn't count on, that was that Robin would break up the ring that parts of the lamp were on. So I went upstairs anyway because it didn't sound right there. I look at Robin's room and I'm amazed. Or actually rebuilt.

Scan demolish terke hands.

What had happened now? Okay saw the ring in a few pieces and I ask (without picking up everything first) what happened. I get a kind of crying and frustrated answer from a kid who doesn't know how to put this. So I take a good look around me and see the teepee. So that must be the cause. I'm going to ask very focused and with that I'm going to ask Robin takes another piece of ring and break it up, not once, no he goes on. I say STOP! but he doesn't hear. Or rather his emotions have gained so much the upper hand that his hands continue with his frustration and that his ears and his head can no longer stop this action. I feel like it was his emotions and that his brakes at this point and this moment are broken. This saddens me at that moment. To Robin. Not so much because of that lamp, I get double and extra child benefit for that. Precisely to overcome these kinds of situations. I feel so powerless that he can't find his brake and therefore demolished this lamp even further so I can't make the lamp anymore. I pick up the pieces of the lamp because there are really parts left and I'm going down with them. But I'm not done with it by then. because now there is a dangerous situation.

See no danger.

What happened? What was so dangerous? The lamp (the light source) hung on the ceiling without protection. Since it is an energy-efficient lamp, it is dangerous to hang it. It used to be a different story with the light bulbs, but now it can be dangerous when the lamp breaks. So I took the lamp out of the luminaire and thought I'd be there. Well with the emphasis so on thought. Robin started telling me he was going to hang on it and I know a lot more for dangerous games. I was startled, summoned him to go down and he was not allowed to return back up before I had pulled the whole lamp av the power wire. Of course, that was a reason to cry very much. Well unfortunately I am not going to take risks with him for I KNOW he is capable of. Besides that the lamp hangs near his already high bed. A new lamp is now in the house but I still have to hang up.
