The Meaning of Family: The Collections

Still the Same

Request:
"I really would love to hear more about how they are dealing with the non-verbal autism because these family's tend to be very on top of everything and organised and I want to see how they react to find this out."

"and the same with Adam and his family"

Notes:
There is a lot of outdated language regarding autism. I did this to keep the realism of what we have to face in the world.

"Can we go say hi to Grandpa?" Sammie asked as she, Chloe, and Yoongi walked inside the center to pick Adam and Presley up.

"Go ahead~" The two girls ran further into the center towards Jin's office while Yoongi stepped inside the Cuddle Bug room where his youngest child spent his days. His gaze immediately landed on the 18-month-old sitting inside the teepee used for the safe center, opening and closing the board book in his hand.

"Adam, look who's here!" Adam's teacher, Ms. Sanaa, announced as she saw Yoongi stepping inside, but the toddler didn't look up. Neither commented on it, Yoongi just walking over to pick the toddler up while Sanaa went to grab Adam's daily report. After struggling to get the toddler to put down the book and picking him up, Yoongi walked back over to Sanaa to get the report, only to be met with a different kind of report. "Adam bit another child today."

"Again?" Yoongi asked, looking at his son as he took the incident report from the woman's hand to sign. "Why'd you do that, buddy?"

Adam, of course, didn't answer or look up at his dad, even leaning slightly away from his father is if he were trying to distance himself as much as he could while being held by him. "He was arranging the books in the bookshelf over there and another kid wanted to look at one of the books, so they grabbed one and he bit them on the arm."

Yoongi signed the report before looking at the toddler in his arms. "Hey," he tried to look at the young boy, but Adam constantly avoided it as he spoke. "We don't bite. Biting hurts." After a few more words with the boy's teacher, including reminding her that Adam would be coming in late the next morning due to doctor's appointment, Yoongi went to get Presley from her classroom then stopped by his wife's classroom before going to get his daughters from his dad's office.

"Hi, Mommy!" Presley greeted as she ran into the classroom after Yoongi pushed open the door.

"Hi, Presley!" Sophia greeted, giving her daughter a hug after telling one of her students to go sit on the carpet now that they were done with their snack. "Hi, Adam!" She then greeted her son, leaning in to kiss his cheek as he flinched away.

"Did you see about being able to come in late tomorrow?"

Sophia frowned at Yoongi's question. "Yes, and I was good to take off for his appointment, but then the person who was supposed to cover me had to take off herself because her grandmother passed away, and your dad tried everything he could, but I just can't get off tomorrow morning." She pouted while apologizing quietly.

"It's okay~" Yoongi assured his wife, looking at his son. "It's just be the boys tomorrow. We'll be okay." Yoongi smiled at Adam, but the toddler just looked over his shoulder, tugging at his own ear. Yoongi turned back to his wife and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "I'll see you at home."
