Kolten's Page

Kolten has a great sense of humor. Recently while at KFC he asked for two chicken legs but he told the cashier that he wanted them to come off of the same chicken.

A few days ago he saw an older woman sitting in her yard surrounded by cats; he stated laughing and said "It's like looking into Megan's future."

To learn about Autism visit:

This year Kolten started 4th Grade which means he was promoted from the Primary School to the Elementary School and the Elementary School has a stricter dress code than the Primary. This means Kolten has to wear jeans to school everyday and he has to have his shirt tucked in AND sadly it meant the curls had to go!! I was worried about him going all day with his shirt tucked in because last year Jake got a calendar mark for not having his shirt tucked in and wanted to help Kolten avoid D-Hall or detention every week; so before school we went in to meet the new Vice Principal of the Elementary School. I explained to her that Kolten has High Functioning Autism and that I was afraid wearing his shirt tucked in would be too much for him. She is a wonderful understanding person and between us we decided that I would send him to school with his shirt tucked in and that they would work with him everyday in hopes that by the end of the year he would be use to the idea. They would put a note in his file to keep him from getting in trouble if he was not able to keep the shirt tucked in for the whole day. He was with me in the meeting and when we left he said "So, basically I have to go to school with my shirt tucked in everyday, but if I "have to go to the bathroom" (he did the quote signal with his fingers) as soon as I get to school I can un-tuck my shirt and if anyone says anything I can say 'It's okay, I'm Autistic, I don't know any better' Right?" It was clear to me then that he knew how to play us and after that I have made him wear his shirt tucked in everyday all day! So far - so good!
