Suse, that theory holds some promise I think! Because it would explain why Ripley has been feral since yesterdays meltdown; he was absolutely feral at swimming lessons, his teacher is the sister of his godmother so she knows a bit about his issues and even she said its the first time she has really seen anything bar really poor concentration first hand. He wouldnt sit still, fell in the pool because he didnt want to sit on the edge like normal, kept running back to me to be silly.

The blankie needed to be washed, unfortunately I usually do it on daycare days when I "forget" to pack it in his bag but Ive been working the past week so it hasnt been done. And it did have pee on it *sigh* He's shut up about it now.
Ive also noticed he's started walking on the knuckles of his toes more and more lately. I keep having to tell him to stop it.

Update on our psych stuff - turns out the main psych wants R to do the Griffith and the Standford Binet; and from there the ADOS (or if its cheaper for us to do all 3 together then thats what we'll do). So now I have to wait for an email with the medicare item #'s from the psych so I can ring and see how much we'd be covered for before we make a decision.
