Terrible Monday

Yesterday was one terrible day for my family.

My son - autistic (verbally cannot communicate), almost 7 years old, got left in school to be all alone for 3 hours - by one of the maids we have! The maid was not to blame - but we still can't fathom why she left him in the school premises when it was empty. School was closed yesterday (Parsi New Year) but we forgot all about it - I had office, my wife had her classes.

We are grateful to God that he came back all right - the gate was closed so he could not run out. But he was all alone for 3 hours and we can't imagine what he went through mentally. The security guard called wife's mobile - but she was in classes and mobile was on silent; they called residence - but because of lack of good communication the maids could not understand why they had called.

After that we were awake all night - he had 102+ fever - cold compress, Crocin......we did not have the mind and heart to go for a celeb book success party.
