This morning I woke up and rolled over just as the clock turned 6AM. Its odd how I seem to wake up at the hour. Then I realized my TV was on. Which means Michael was up. Before 6AM. That is just way too early. I rolled over and snoozed lightly for a bit.
I came out and Michael had a bowl of cereal. Which means he got the cereal, milk, and everything out for himself. Thank goodness the milk was nearly empty. But Michael never ceases to surprise me.

That is a possibility. Once
That is a possibility. Once he went on that he started working in Therapy. I think once he realized he could do things, he was no longer afraid to try. I wonder if it calmed something in him down just enough so he could concentrate on things around him easier.
I am wondering if the Autism is going to be re-thought and he will end up with either no diagnosis like my brother, whom I really wonder if he is a PDD-NOS)my brother that is.. Or if he will get slapped with a learning disability and lose his IEP and those helping things...
That is the real Catch-22,
That is the real Catch-22, isn't it and the real tragedy about how autism diagnoses are currently being made. It is the same up here in Canada. It seems that the moment that something is found that works to alleviate the difficulties, the reaction of the system is to modify or eliminate the diagnosis - and because the diagnosis is reassessed and because the specific treatment that helped cannot perhaps be accurately isolated from others that were being tried at the same time, the family loses funding or access to those very treatment(s) that were helping them cope with the ASD. It's a vicious circle and an extra stress that the families don't need. You're a fighter and a survivor though (I can tell) - keep up the good work. Michael will go as far as you want him to - and probably farther, too.
