I think that Nathan is getting worst, but I don't know if that is possible. This weekend I did this with him outside the house by myself. We went to the mall and he wander off and I couldn't find him. That is the wost feeling in the whole world. He did that more than once and on top of that he didn't want to listen to me and almost got hit by a car because he ran out in the street. And yesterday I went to church but he had a hard time and want me to stay with him. Today was one of those days where he didn't want to listen to me at all and he wanted his dad. My DH is invalid but he works long hours and all he wants to do is sleep and be on his computer. I was crying most of the day because sometimes I just want to give up and not have a Special Needs son but than I know that God give him to me. I just don't know what to do half the time with him. I see the specialist on the 28th and I hope that he can give me a diagnosis. I need more help and I know that a Autism Dog will help him. Thanks for listening.

{{{{{Mindy}}}}} I am sorry to hear that you are having it rough lately. I know what you mean by that dreaded feeling when your child wonders off, especially out in a mall, supermarket, or out on the streets... Hang in there. As there are bad days, there will be good days too. It gets overwhelming. We are here for you. You can vent away!

I hope today is a better day. I've had Haley wander on me. She never went far... just hid in a clothing rack behind me (she thought it would be funny). I went absolutely crazy, I was so scared.
I have had all I can take from my husband these days. He is being medically discharged from the military. We're getting ready for our big move next week. He no longer has a job since he's already been replaced so for the past week now, he's been home. All he does is sleep all day and stay up all night long on the computer. I am ready to kill him!
Hang in there and vent as much as you need to. *hugs*

Mindy,
Something I have noticed with my son (and others here have said similar) that when he is about to make a big leap in development, he seems to have a little mini-regression beforehand. Or sometimes a step forward in one area (like speech) can mean a small step backwards in another area (for us it was always behaviour).

Aw, Mindy.
