It's noon on Saturday and it's been a hard day. Dylan has been extremely aggressive and unable to keep his hands to himself. It's been hard for me as his mom but I know that it's been tough for him too.......in the book I've been reading 10 Things Every Child with Autism Wants You to Know they talked about "can't" and "won't" ....the 2 words are NOT interchangeable. I need to go re-read that section in the book already.....even though I haven't gotten all the way through the book yet. :-/
Last night a bedtime was day two of the medication that we are trying with Dylan. Dr. T stressed that it's not a medication that we will see an immediate change with. He said that it's something that after a month or so, we should be able to look back and either say the things have improved with his temper/fuse or they really haven't. He's on the lowest possible dose so we may have to tweak things a bit but for now it's a wait and see time. Have I mentioned that I'm not always the most patient person in the world!
Even with the "hard" stuff right now there is good. I LOVE how for the last 3 mornings, D has crawled into bed with me after he gets up for some snuggle time. I will take the snuggles whenever and wherever I can get them.
Love my boy!
