Little Bug had a really hard time at school yesterday. It all started when he had to ride the bus. This week he has begun to ride it by himself both ways. Apparently, he cried the entire way there and also bit the bus driver when she attempted to buckle him in.
He also had a really hard time with transitions and his teacher has asked that we help make a better picture schedule for him as the one that they have simply isn't working.
When we asked him why he had a bad day, he sai, "On da bus.... lowyang."
We have asked the following questions and are no closer to the answer:
-Is there a person name Logan? NO
- Was someone laughing? NO (laughing is disturbing to him at times)
- Did someone touch you? No
- Did you sit with someone? No
- Was the bus driver nice? Yes...sad...lowyang
We have no idea what he is taking about. We both are somewhat frazzled as we can't figure out what the hell that word means and why it is so scary for him.

Blake, maybe he's sad and 'lonely'.
=(
You've got to realize...he has not had to be alone, without you two or very close friends and family his entire life.
He's been riding the bus to school, granted a bus with other kids and a driver, alone. Didn't he have a hard time the first day so you had to ride there and back with him?
I think he's trying to tell you he's sad and lonely on the bus.
Bri, I think you might be right... Its so damn obvious we missed it.
I think maybe you should see if you can send him to school with a favorite stuffed animal. Like, one of his sharks. Or maybe even get him a new (new to him) toy that is JUST for the bus. Making it special may make the transition easier.
Sounds like you may already have it, but another word I thought of is "yelling." Since he answered in response to the bus driver, "yes, sad ...maybe the bus driver was yelling at the kids. I hope that wasn't the case, but another option to check out.
