Teaching Jeremiah, A Journey into the Mind of an Asperger's Child
May. 15, 2008
Meet....Louis?
Louis
The kids were a little confused at first. Michaela just said, "Great! Another boy!" They had all really taken to the name Neena, but after much debate (I liked Gideon), chose Louis from E.B. White's, "Trumpet of the Swan". He was a misunderstood and misinterpreted creature himself!
The vet said Louis did not get along with the kitties in the cages around him and hissed at them all night. Now I understand why. Can you just imagine the jeers from his peers? "Neena! Hmf! What kind of a name is that? What are you, some kind of girly man? I guess your owner dropped you off to get 'spayed'!" I hope we didn't give him too much of a complex.
The worst part is that Jerry called him "cat" for three days until he could remember Neena. Now he's Louis! I guess Jerry and Louis are in the same confused state right now!
Anyway, Neena or Louis, it doesn't matter. Boys are just as trainable as girls and we'll start harness training Louis as soon as his incision heals.
