Autism. Not to be negative, but I knew it couldn't last

Well, two good days out of three isn't so bad, in the grand scheme of things. 

Bright Eyes just flatly refused to go to school today. He seemed really tired, out of sorts, hyper beyond normal and he couldn't stop talking. We figured that it wasn't a make or break situation to get him there, and he had technically done his six hours for the week, so we let him stay home, after I got him to come across to school and tell the teacher that he wouldn't be there today.

However even at home, he just couldn't settle, and he drove me nuts all day. What would you do if someone talked in your ear and wanted to touch you and wriggled and jiggled all day?
