Kat - thank you for your offer, it's interesting there are quite a few professionals on here who help with asd and sensory issues which is a great wealth of information to draw on. All the best with your pg.
Christy - Don't ever feel like a failure! These services are there to help us because we need them! We found the only head phones Xander likes are these huge ones Dh got to block out noise on the little ariplanes he used to fly in out west :-) Not exactly 'blending in' material. Does Matlida like electronic games? We got DS a leapster last year for Christmas and it is what he absorbs himself in when we are in stressful situations. It is starting to die so we have him a Nintendo DS for Christmas (from Ebay) It's funny because I caught up with some other people whose boys were on the spectrum and they were all playing on these DS systems - mainly pokemon. Is she interested in anything like that?
As for us - we are not having a very settled week. DS is all over the place like a dogs breakfast - speaking of which our dog was killed on Sunday and we are getting 2 new puppies (yes just to add to the chaos that is our life) but I don't think that has upset him. i think it's more getting close to school holidays - he is wanting to know what we are going to do and when and what day he is going back to school and which class is he in. OMG he is seriously stressing! Holidays are always horrible as he hates the spontenaity. I really should sit down and make a plan..... might help him settles :-( I just hate being so planned out all the time! On the upside we finally started getting some money back through medicare for all the OT sessions. It has taken us 5 months to jump through all the right hoops! Thankfully our bank balance is looking slightly less sad now :-)
