Thank goodness, some weeks have passed and I am feeling better. Life was definitely rough there for awhile. The boys are both doing well, and I think we have some workable plans in place to help both of them.
Elijah is doing some good work controlling his anger. We are sending a journal back and forth for daily communication with Ms. Shannon and set some some reasonable goals for him to work towards. He is doing great! We also found out that he will be having his tonsils and adenoids out in December. Although he didn't like this bit of information one bit, he rallied when he found out that he would miss school for a week and also get to eat ice cream as much as he wanted. We will see how he feels as the day approaches.
Sam is filling his week with therapies and schoolwork. He is receiving 1 and 1/2 hours of OT a week, 1/2 hour of PT and some group speech(I have to find out about this though.) We have continued his social skills classes too and although he grumbles a bit, I think they are helping him to understand a bit more about how to get along well with others. His behavior still sometimes makes me shake my head though. It is as if he cannot control himself sometimes and makes some pretty poor choices. That is when I believe the ASD diagnosis. Will I ever just accept it though?
