Maddie's can communicate exactly what she wants, so that's never an issue, and tbh, if we were to go out, then our teenager and even our 4y/o could translate for her if necessary, but she just can't handle any break in routine. School is so difficult, because we have to spend the entire week getting her ready for just the two days when she doesn't go, and don't even get me started on holidays. She just has to have everything a certain way, and she doesn't know how to cope with anything going differently (a few weeks ago, I was up all night calming her down after her dad tucked her in with her quilt cover upside down, which was fun). We're working on it though, and she is getting better with it, so we'll have to see.
And yes, it is so rare! I find that even some of her schoolteachers look a bit freaked out by it sometimes, like they can't even imagine a girl on the spectrum. *fist bump*
