    Mitch is in for an OT assesment in September, had to wait cos they didn't have one at all for a few months.

    Jury's still out here, I think someone in this house is on the spectrum not sure if its ds or dp

    Lulu.... its frustrating, but the OT assessment will help if there are sensory issues.

    Today was okay... Only an hour of screaming and we are happy. I had an alone day with Matilda, which is rare and unusual.... she loved it, but I made a bad choice. We went out for a Soy-a-chino and they were out of marshmallows. After going to 3!!! coffee places, there were no marshmallows anywhere. I offered to buy her a chupa chup to make up for it... yep I gave her sugar. And Yup I paid dearly for that later. It was so exhausting.... why does 1 piece of sugar mean the end of the entire day?? We only had an hour of screaming, but she was hard work.

    Anyway... Dee... its hard. Its exhausting... is he is any early intervention?

    Lulu... Urgh... we waited ages for Matilda's first assessments.... the ones in Sydney we just went private and spent $$.

    At the early intervention where Alex goes, when he first started there, they would say to use other words or sounds. Instead of no, do an exaggerated 'uh uh' and shake your head or add a gasp to it. My thing with Alex is to have an alternative as he is semi easy to divert from something he shouldn't have.
