Just last week Adam got great praise from teachers and therepists on how he as been coming along. I was also pleased at our play dates w/ friend's NT kiddies. Heck he has been comunicating SO much better then.................the bottom falls out.
We have alot of snow here in PA so I've been busy diggin out. Adam is a non schedule kinda kid so lack of schedule isn't the issue. I have NO idea what is his problem this week. He has/had "echo" problems in the early days of ASD but was going away but has reared it's UGLY head again. He stims alot the last 2 days and I am sick over it.
I thought we had a HUGE break through BUT what a set back the past 2 days.
Granted I have been ill and not giving him 100% of my time like I normally do, so I guess he wasn't engaged enough so in his "world" be converted back slightly.
God I hate this. I am the one who has to deal 24/7 and it's HARD. I dropped in home wrap around services due to the fact I am a stay at home mom, so I want to provide his extra help.
I just needed to vent.
I hope tomarrow has better things to come. I am so emotionally spent anymore. I would like to try for the second baby. I got the go ahead from my doc since my miscarriage.
Then I feel, am I NUTS since I have days like this one here?
thanks for shoulder to lean on

Could be just sensory from being inside. Has he had snow days from school? The winter back east was always hard on my kids. Even now if it rains and they are stuck inside too long it affects them.
He may not be an obvious schedule kind of kid but snow days or similar may be enough to give him the autistic version of cabin fever.
He will likely come back around soon and progress again. They always do. And yes, I have had days like that.

My last TSS experience was AWFUL. She basically wanted me in the room the whole time, and Adam wouldn't work for her cause I was there. She made a comment of that she's not a babysitter. So what's the point of you coming to my home to irritate me?!
I was in the kitchen one day she was here putting my dishes away and overheard her say to Adam "I have NO idea where your mom is?" HELLO you are here to help my son, NOT ME.
So that and the BSS was an idiot too so I droped it. Adam has out patient OT and Speech 2x per week and got him in a social skills group too. He is OT tumbling class starts next week. He is busy. His preschool doens't want TSS, it's a speical ed school and at his assement he didn't score on that level.
I prefer it that way. His teacher commented on when his BSS would drop by, Adam would shut down. I saw wrap around as my issue not Adam.
Believe it or not, he has gotten better I feel. It just sucks when I have one of thoese days time to time where I feel all I have done, has slipped a bit.
But in a nut shell, I don't care for wrap around for now. I am not totally against it, but not for now. He is over scheduled enough

Renee you read my mind. This morning, I down and made it a point to get down and dirty to play w/Adam. I really engaged him. I noramlly do anyday, but not so hard core on school days. Well we are snowed in here in Pittsburgh. He has NO school or therepy today. So we ae gonna bake cookies today, maybe pull out playdough. It's too cold to play outside. We lasted 10 minuted yesterday. I got some cute pics for my scrapbook LOL..
But it's cabin fever just because he is always on the go....................
Uggghhhhh
I do hate winter
Nora
Thanks all of You
