    I was thinking if trying one of the playconnect playground for asd kids, but I feel weird because he's not officially diagnosed yet even though they say it doesn't matter. Let is know how you go.

    I was just telling my H I feel the same way with not having a diagnosis. But we both need the socialisation and I don't have the confidence to deal with screaming mess on the ground for a first meeting with a regular playgroup at the moment. It was okay when we did that at home with old friends but it's harder with new people.

    DS1 is a shocking sleeper, but he is getting better. 1/2 the week (on a good week) he sleeps through from about 8-6.

    How do I explain there's no Kindy today? School holidays have started and I'm not sure how to prepare him or anything... thanks x

    Early Kids school holidays are hard. We have done the social story and doing something special in order to compensate... like a scavenger hunt or something outside together... when they are young they don't always understand why there is such a thing as school holidays. M doesn't understand why people want to take breaks from school...

    Sorry I haven't been in....

    Busy couple of days... really should update my ticker LOL..

    Ahh so Mr #5 arrived on Monday. Everyone has a lot of processing to do. Surprisingly though, its Glenn who is most concerning. He is complaining of feeling unwell but isn't IFYKWIM. Seems with drawn & just before was hiding under his bed because he didn't want to see the midwife who came to check on the baby. that is really weird for him. DH has taken him out for a bit just on his own. Poor kid.
    Dh is dealing with his emotions ok. A good nights sleep seems to have helped him a lot.
    Evan was pretty "on egg shells" for a couple of days there. Seems mostly ok today but still a bit touchy. He is like DH, handles the immediate situation ok, great even. But then crumbles after the event has passed.
    But Yeah poor Glenn.. Its so hard with him as he hides it well & goes un-noticed. I will have to try & include him a little more. I keep saying no to them holding the baby & stuff. Glenn has had a hold etc. but he looses interest pretty fast. But I try to make a deal about how the baby will be like him. They both have red hair so I have been saying how he will be like him etc. hmmmmmm
