Me and Cameron had to go for our check up at our very specialized dentist , the specialized dentist is more for me , I have really big problems with my teeth . My dentist who is Welsh is off having her baby I like her and it can be very annoying when this happens it takes kids with autism a long time to get use to some one especially if its something we don’t like .
Mum said its the bain of her life , people having babies or retiring and just when we find someone good that happens , Cameron told me he can prove that to me by doing a statistics chart , his favourite person was Dr donald holt he retired , Mrs Crowe at medstead school Cameron’s classroom assistant she retired , Mrs Taylor at liss school she left , Bob who was Cameron’s top person he was his taxi driver , Bob fancied Mrs Taylor Cameron’s teacher , Bob was really smart he would teach Cameron jokes because he knew Cameron didn’t have the sense of humour other people would understand and Cameron wanted to learn jokes to fit in . Cameron said life’s horrible sometimes because he really loves these people and they leave . But he does know mum wont leave unless she gets hit by lighting or a lorry hits her in the car .
So anyway we had a new dentist Holly she was very nice and kind , Cameron went first his teeth are perfect they are straight , white and he has no fillings he brushes his teeth really well in fact he’s obsessed with his teeth when he was younger he just pulled his teeth straight out , he doesn’t feel pain , mum use to have a hissy fit because she didn’t know if he had pulled one of his second teeth out . In fact my Welsh dentist called him Mr Perfect she said it must be hard living with Mr Perfect ! we laughed she was being sarcastic I understand that now because of mum is the sarcasm queen she isn’t a real queen just the sarcasm queen and Sheldon from the big ban theory. Any way Holly took a x-ray of Cameron’s teeth as well , I think she wanted to find something wrong but she couldn’t .
Then I got in the chair it was green i like green , the lady that was helping the dentist was cleaning everything I asked her at great length about the way she cleans things I wanted to be sure there was no gems ! she picked a new end on the blow instrument she had different colours she picked out red which is one of my favourite colours at the moment so that made me feel better . I was getting worried so I asked a lot of questions , mum said Alex I know you want to know but the girl thinks she’s being interviewed by the CID perhaps draw breath Alex , I started to think how I could draw my breath I had no pen and paper ! mum will say things like that to me it feels like a different language but I don’t mind because I love her and I know she’s NT so she can’t help it . I did tell her none of theses instruments would be here without people with autism , we invent everything but we find it hard to brush our teeth .
The dentist Holly had to go very careful with me I don’t like people touching my teeth and I can’t bare the feeling on my teeth its feels like someones sticking pins in me , I need lots of things done because I can’t brush my teeth I try but can only stand a brush in my mouth for seconds . mum has brought me loads of brushes , small ones , scooby brush , electric brushes one with a tiny round head and another one with a very small brush on it , I also don’t like tooth paste mum has brought loads of them all different flavours . I cry when I brush my teeth mum tries to help me she holds my hand and tries to take my mind off of things . it’s just impossible for me it’s so painful brushing my teeth . mum’s ordering me a jet wash for my teeth it jets out water people use it instead of floss . when the dentist had finished she talked to me about my teeth , she didn’t tell me off because she understands kids like me find it really hard , I have something called sensory integration disorder mine is very bad I don’t feel and smell things like other humans . sometimes I don’t feel any pain when something happens to me and then if people touch my hair and teeth it’s really painful also smells are different sometimes I smell things no other human can smell I am very much like my dog india , because the smell of things can be overwhelming like people who smoke and wear perfume I can’t stand it .
The dentist went through things I do and things I like the taste of , I like strawberries I said mums brought me strawberry toothpaste and it hasn’t worked but the dentist said tesco have brought a new one out that really does taste like strawberries so mum said we will go and buy it , anything to help me . we had to talk about my treatment we’ve decided on a special gas that makes you laugh , I thought she meant the helium gas in balloons that gives you a funny voice and you make other people laugh , but this gas is different it just makes you happy she said . if that doesn’t work then I will go to sleep and have everything done . she gave me little pot of mouth wash I smelt it and was nearly sick , Cameron had it he loves minty stuff .
when we were in the car we had a chat about laughing gas , I said to mum why don’t miserable people have this gas all the time ! mum said you have a good point and sometimes she could do with it for some of the people she has meetings with because they love being miserable that’s people who decide about my education , I told mum why would someone love being miserable . mum said some people are miserable because they really are sad about life and something really bad could have happened to them we should help and understand those people but there are people who just moan about everything and they should go a live in africa with starving children and then moan about their life’s .
I just really wanted people to know how different it is for me and my brother , he’s obsessed with brushing his teeth and loves the feeling but I don’t , so if someone needs fillings doesn’t mean they are bad people they might be like me .
