Oh, the action around here!
Possum had his first kindy prep group this week. 6 boys and 2 speechys. Our therapist said he did very well - participated in the games and followed their instructions. He even sat on the mat! He was getting very fidgety so the therapist sat behin...
Possum still asks about the dog but otherwise seems fine with it. My second dog, Chili, is very lonely though. Poor girl.
We have been using the time-out strategy recommended by the paed and clin psych, and every time i put Possum in his room he ...
I found one of my dogs last night by the side gate of our house. She had died during the day. :gloomy:
Jet Girl was 12 years old, and DH and I had been talking about having her and other other dog, Chili (13 years), put to sleep. I'd had dreams a...
Caught Possum shoveling sugar into his mouth straight from the tupperware container. When my brother did this it meant his ulcerative colitis was acting up.
Anybody else seen this before?
How does he go with recognising emotions?
http://www.autismspectrum.org.au/ has a Thomas the Tank Engine emotions game and http://do2learn.com/ has a heap of stuff including a social skills toolbox.
HTH

We are now doing speech weekly, and we have a clin psych and paed to work with. The paed has helped us implement a time-out strategy that we started this week.
I have also stopped trying to multi-task and now just focus on the two boys. It means ...
I 100% feel your pain. Our little guy is equally difficult, and I have two other boys I forever feel like I'm ignoring. And my guy doesn't let me sleep either.
What kind of professional help are your getting? We just started seeing a behavioral p...
Just got back from seeing the paed. He has told us to do "highly structured time out". There are 6 rules and if any are broken we are to lock (yes, lock) Possum in his room for 4 minutes. We have to clear out his room so that if he goes ape he can...
does anybody else have a serial absconder?
Joe ran away again, while we were at hillarys boat harbour today. the only thing scarier than a lost kid at a boat harbour is a lost kid on the freeway...
i found him in the video game arcade.
was a go...
Yeah. He is clever that way...
Question: what nappies do people use for older children? Possum isn't TT yet and has long since grown out of his cloth nappies and will soon grow out of the disposables too.
Possum is 4 and a half.
We have one of those backpacks (the dog) but whenever i have tried using it on Possum he just sits down and wont move.
I don't know. Haven't taken possum anywhere so havn't been in that situation.
still bloody tired.
We have a visual timetable/picture schedule but he kept pulling it off the wall. I still have all the pictures and I'm thinking magnets on the fridge is a good idea and very easy to do.
He is getting harder to handle every day. He is resisting mo...
Had a meltdown myself today.
Had to go to shop to buy a little heater for bug's room (it is soooo cold atm). had issues getting possum into the car, then we get to the store and he runs off. i eventually catch him and we find the heater i want an...
We have a whiteboard "chore chart" that we're just starting to use for our youngest (suspected autistic) child. We'll put things on it like meals, his "chores", story time, etc.
And yes, you can use pictures!
I find that if the ritual AROUND the...

I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and becoming a mom for the first time. I have been trying to find more people to follow me so that I can spread awareness:
