Monkeynism AKA Autism

Our In-Home trainer sent me a picture of the monkey. For being a new building, new teacher, new aid, new peers, he has taken the change pretty good. Whew. 😬 I’m so relieved. 💙

Yesterday the monkey was getting a little anxious so my husband decided to take him to the park. We didn’t make it to the park because the monkey was mesmerized with something across the arroyo. We still can’t figure out what he was staring at. But we decided not to force him to go to…
