Books
Some books are so amazing for Matt he loves everything about them, he loves to read and is a pretty good reader when he is able to, he loves to read books on the law of attraction, self healing, enlightenment as well as things on dragons, si fi and fantasy.
How ever somethings are a little much for him, somethings with to much violence, to much drama, to much loss or anything to do with abandonment is to much for him and brings up to many unanswered questions for him. We try to make sure he doesn't get these types of books however some books don't seem so bad by the write up on them but then end up being really difficult for him, with out reading it ourselves we have no idea.
It isn't always easy because sometimes he receives books as gifts and he just gets so emotional and so in his head when reading them and it takes him days to come out of it.
He loves sitting in the sun, laying in his bed or sitting at the kitchen table and reading a book and reading it all the way through or reading as much as he can for a day, due to one of his disabilities he has a hard time just stopping anywhere so he has to read a full chapter or full book in one sitting, it keeps him busy and he feels proud of himself.
He will be adsorbed for days with a good book, enjoying it, learning from it, having fun with it, some books he reads over and over again, some books he has read more then ten times because he just loves them. Others he has read many times but something happens in his head and he becomes focused on something, becomes frustrated or depressed and we have to take it away from him.
It isn't always easy to know how he will react to a book, but we always try to make sure he is having fun with it, if not it goes away.
Books are so very important to Matt so we will keep finding ones that help him and he has fun with and remove all the ones he will have difficulty with.
