A child with ASD is like a snow flake or finger print in the sense that, from a distance they look similar or even the same but upon closer examination they are in fact, quite different. Each unique in their own way with no two being the same.

All over the board......

I know it's been awhile since I posted....I can tell you that it means that my mind has been spinning and honestly, I've tried to blog but I just haven't been able to get the words down on the page.

This week on Wednesday is Dylan's appointment with the child psych.  That alone brings up a lot of feelings and emotions for me.  I can safely say that when I dreamed of having kids, this was yet one more thing that wasn't in my picture....not even the big picture.  I never imagined that I would be taking my 5 1/2 year old to see a child psych.  I'm sure that any parent who has feels the same way.  I realized last night that I hadn't really done more than look glance at the paperwork they had sent.  I got it out so that Jason could have some input on the "important" parts.......atleast we agreed on all the answers.  That's a good thing, right?  Tonight I'll go through the rest which is all pretty basic info.

Dylan's days continue to be very up and down.....it feels like she doesn't have any "in between" days....they are either really good or he's a mess.  

We were working on his Valentine's for school and I'll admit that I wasn't really looking forward to that project because writing his name (or anything for that matter) are far from his favorite things to do.  He recently got a B-Calm of his own so I decided that it was good time to try it.  I was hoping that it would help him focus a little more on what he was doing.  It did work and I realized after the 1st few, he wasn't going to be a "quiet" activity for him.....but if this is what he needed to do for all 20 Valentines then I was just going to go with it.

Yep....everytime we worked on them, he did that exact same thing.  

I do have to say that he's been using his B-Calm a lot and I've noticed when things get a little crazy around her with his sister crying, he tends to go for his B-Calm more instead of laying on the floor with his hands over his ears.....and that's a good thing.
