The Weekend

I spend most of my weekends going to work with my father but i am taking the next couple of week off to spend some time with my cousin Hamlet. The reason i am doing this is because Hamlet is my cousin who suffers from autism and some other minor disabilities. So last weekend which was 2/4 - 2/5 i tried to spend as much time with him as possible to observe him and experiment with anything i can with the time i had. I took him to the Glendale Galleria to really observe his social skills. I did not really want to force him to converse with others because he has trouble with that, but when the time came up he did just fine. I also got to see how my grandparents treat him as well and there daily lives. The minting i got out of the weekend was it is not good to put these children down in front of everybody if they do something wrong, it must be done when you are alone so the child is not embarrassed and they will understand.
