What to do?

What to do? I have been mulling over this question for a week, and in this same week I have been working hard to get my 2nd grade son acclamated to school again. My son was diagnosed with high-functioning Autism last spring. Quite honestly, I did just a bit of research regarding Autism just prior to and following his case conference. I acted as his advocate, along with my husband, when I let his classroom teacher know that he should move on to 2nd grade with the "friends" he had made in 1st grade. Then summer break...was just that for him, a break from the school routine, and so it was a bit of break for me in facing the facts and taking the time to do more research as his number one advocate. After all, I had classes and work to tend to, and he was content.  And now....after a heart-wrenching 2 weeks of his tummy aches, tears, and trials, I feel that this is the path I need to take and want to take in my inquiry project. I want to know more about behavioral pediatrics, support groups for parents, Prozac for children (I'll explain that in an upcoming blog!), and Autism in general....and I intend to find out.

  1. This inquiry is a wonderful way to dive into the questions you have about your child's needs. The project will give you the excuse you need to take a deep breath and "go for it."

    Enjoy the process of seeing your son with new eyes. - Annette
