Last night we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney to meet up with friends. For anyone unfamiliar with the restaurant, they call themselves "A wild place to shop and eat." It's dark, and looks like the inside of a rainforest. There are few fishtanks, a large waterfall, 2-3ft motorized animals, and they have simulated monkey noises and loud "thunderstorms" going off every 10-15 minutes.
I was nervous to see how Zavier would do, because he's sensory averse, but he did great! Just now I asked him:
Me: "Zavier, did you like the Rainforest Cafe?"
Zavier: "Yes."
Me: "Did Mommy buy you toys?"
Zavier: "Yes! Book. Frog. Cat."
The first two were true. But I didn't buy a cat. He's just hoping for one, apparently.
Zavier was born on May 27, 2004. He was diagnosed with autism in April 2007. This is a blog that follows his journey of recovery and healing.
