sorry it has been so long.
i had been going through about two weeks of torture. ben had a horrible rash on his bum. it took the doc 2 weeks to finally perscribe something to make it go away!
but i have been having more and more problems with him throwing tantrums. i mean screaming. we thought it was because of his diaper rash, but now that it is gone there is no reason. i think his sensory issues and not being able to communicate effectivly is getting to him. i feel for the little guy. i also feel that sometimes i am the only one who understands him. wich is hard because it makes me feel like i should be with him all the time to explain to others what he wants or needs. really i just wish he would take to me. sit down look at me and speak. tell me what the heck he is looking at all the time.
Hi! Read the post by
Hi! Read the post by Perseverence called Tantrum Management, another blogger here who has a grown ASD son. She also posted a link to the lyrics to the Gordon Lightfoot song "If You Could Read My Mind"
Also, see the recent article posted here about seizures called The Answer to Autism May Be Inside The Mind:
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=4882297&page=1
It describes kids that seem to stare and daydream a lot that actually had seizure disorders, not even autism, that were miraculously helped by seizure medications, like from a 10 word vocabulary to a 300 word vocabulary overnight.
