Went to an awesome seminar run by Sue Larky and it was great. Got heaps of books and fidgets for Xander and my kids at school including a CD with symbols to use on our timetable. Can't wait to play and Xanders school are interested in buying some stuff too like a learn to play CD where you print out pictures to teach them how to play step by step. All very exciting.

Christy hope everything was OK with your flight. I too started dropping the autism word as DS was being diagnoised. As he was dx PDD at first I would say he had a form of autism particularly when I was getting dirty looks from old ladies at the supermarket while i was holding DS down while he screamed and punched me :-) It does help and in stressful situations I wish DS had a shirt which say "I have autism"

we are off to his speech pathology assessment tomorrow although his speech has improved out of sight since last year when we made the appointment I figured it was still worth going just to add to the profile. he is a bit anxious about it as we have an excusion in the morning as well but the figets are coming in handy tonight. He is sitting on his vibrating cushion with a squishy ball at the moment :-)

Maz - hope your week settles down, what about some social stories for the next couple of days to help him adjust??? Hey did I miss an announcement? Are you pg???
