I think I would like to read Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz Vs the evil librarian and the rest in the series. It is a youth book but I just read his Mistborn series that was awesome and he is the guy they picked to finish the Wheel of Time series when Robert Jordan died.

Cass, I also love finding W in his room reading a book just because he actually likes it Yeah, it seems like the move has really unsettled him. We weren't without problems before but now he is just so, so angry. Any attempt to talk/play anything with him results in him yelling back. He actually tipped over furniture and threw things tonight in a massive red faced rage. He hasn't been so angry before. And so down on himself and everything that comes out of his mouth is negative and nasty. That is what I really need to focus on. Last time he was morose like this was when his first school wasn't working for him. We changed schools and it was fixed. Can't do that this time He needs to learn some ways of dealing with anxiety that isn't just taking out his frustration on everyone else.

G, thanks. Not taken the wrong way at all. It probably frustrates you that I haven't done anything so far. I always think I can manage it. There are times when everything ticks along fine. Then there are times when it doesn't but we always seem to scrape though. I guess making it through the day isn't really living though. What do OT's do? It would be super helpful if we could get past the clothes thing. Velcro on shoes not being even, not wearing more than one layer of top unless it is literally snowing - then he might wear a jersey and then he has to strip down to one layer to put his seatbelt on, the wrong f***ing pants!! Are there real practical ways of making that feel alright to him? Because that would make day to day living quite a bit easier
Does J have clothes issues?

MP, you wouldn't be *that* stage mum though - you would be the awesome lady behind the scenes making costumes and bringing amazing finger foods! Does J like performing too?

After school activities - W is doing Kea's (Scouts) one night a week and the ice skating rink is opening again shortly so I think he might do that a time or two a week. He has amazing balance and was really good at skiing so hopefully he will be naturally good at ice skating and get some confidence from that.

And after 6 years of driving around my little town with a bare minimum knowledge of road rules with no problems, only one month into living in a bigger town and I got pulled over for blowing through a stop sign! Sucks!
