Appointment went really well, he read all results from school phyc, the report from speech the report from the kindy teacher and myself. He watched Korbin and talked to me for awhile and then started the assessment Within the first 15 to 20 mins into the assessment, he said. Korbin has autism.
He needs to be refered on to a team, for it to be confimed. So i have an appointment for the speech part of the team on the 29th June, now just waiting to hear back from the psychologist team, i have an appointment with the pead again next Friday, he has written a letter to the school saying the has assessed Korbin and he is saying he has autism but can not be fully diagnosed until he has seen the rest of the team. FINALLY i am getting somewhere.
MBP mum - that is great that you got some progress today! I remember the day we got DS diagnosis it was very bitter sweet. We were so relieved to have a reason but at the same time devasted that there was a reason. Hugs to you and your family and I hope the rest of the team meetings go as smoothly!
MBP - oh hon..what a weight to be lifted of your shoulders! Finally you know that you will ge the help you need.
Christy - hon.....yes itsone of those times in this house atm too....I have a super arrogant little so and so who had me so angry within 1/2 an hour of him bieng home that I got a head ache and started ranting like a fish wife. I hate it.....I hate when I jsut feel like going out the fornt doo rand not coming back . I hate that when you tell others they say...get some respite..yeah right so he can be a turd for 3 days after he comes home..i think NOT!
Sarah - oh no he's a runner..shiat that would just freak me out. Wilhelm has a little calculator here somewere that he takes to bed too......he went througha stage of putting a toy gun under his pillow cause 'they were going to get him' use to freak me out but if he couldnt find it he would hit himself in the head over and over.
Does anyone else find that the day before their kid gets sick they play up really badly? Wilhelm is just horrible 24 hours before hand......IM a *****, he hates me, Im fired, talk to the hand, im fat, im ugly its like he's a different person
Frantic.... that is the pace M is at today. Frantic... I even made up a song about it this morning.
"No need to get frantic, to get frantic, to get frantic. No need to get frantic, its all okay."
I just can't seem to calm her down. I can't get her to breathe, I can't get her to be squashed.... brushed, compressions. I just see her on a one track way to meltdown land. She's had a frantic week, but today is bad. I just got her in a competition to see who could blow the longest, but its not helping, it turned into something to get frustrated over....
She's been obsessive about lollies and juice for the past week. Enough that we've had 3 massive meltdowns over the fact that I don't have lollies in my bag. Or that we don't have juice in our house. Things that we don't have at that time, or don't usually have. I never have lollies in my bag, I mean if I had lollies, I'd eat them all!!! I went to pick her up from school and she started screaming as soon as she saw me that she wanted a lolly. Then she wanted an ice block or juice. None of which were available at that time. So there was nothing I could do. She ran into the street screaming and laid on the ground. Then she came in with me (I was there to do teaching) and I wound up having to leave 20 minutes later with her kicking and screaming under my arm. My back went out.
Christy. I hope that it didn't escalate. You are so amazing with the way you cope with it all.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the start of the assessment process for us. J vomitted when he got to kindy this morning so is home sick today. I'm just hoping he's ok to go to the appointments tomorrow (paed and audiologist) as we really need some answers atm. After posting that some things have improved the other day, I have had to face the reality in the last few days that they really haven't. Toiletting has gone backwards again, and now we are facing a battle with kindy about his nose. And the kindy teacher got MIL on side this morning and now she's trying to tell us we are not doing enough - I am so angry. The issue is that he won't blow his nose when he needs to and the other kids are not wanting to go near him. The teacher thinks the solution is to insist that a doctor give us abs to clear up the nose. I totally disagree. Last time this happened I relented and after 4 weeks took him to the doctor for abs which didn't help at all. I can't give him abs everytime his nose runs FFS and more often than not it won't help anyway. The runny nose isn't the issue anyway - it's the behaviour, which is related to his other behavioural issues which we are getting him assessed for and she knows it. Why can't people understand that not all kids are the same and there isn't always a magic pill.
Did I mention that I am so angry? DH hung up on MIL earlier when she was going on about all the things we are doing wrong so it will be fun picking J up from their place later. I really admire you all for the way you cope with all the challenges in your lives. You are all truly amazing and special people.
