Hope all is go...Well I look forward to more posts. Hope all is going OK with the move. Thank you for your honesty in your post. I often think that I have similarities to our sons "oddities". And thats probably not the right word and maybe considered offensive to some but maybe you get what I mean when I say oddities. Anyway, We had introduced a brushing technique (that it's the correct name for it through it's much longer and I can't remember) that is part of an added sensory input in our sons day. It really has worked for him at bedtime to settle down and sleep through the night. What I realized through doing this is that I also would do the same thing to myself when I was a kid. I had to brush the air on my arms and brush to my finger tips and it calmed me down. Just one example but there are many that I can relate too. Not sure if I would consider myself on the scale but it does make me appreciate the fact that I believe that there are oddities in everyone that can relate to individuals on the spectrum if willing to admit it. Good for you to do something about it for yourself and for your family. Hey the good news in this is look how far you've come, I don't know you, but to have a family a job, make a big move, you're doing something right, this could be your boys too. Good luck. Everyday living with Autism in your family not only makes you a better parent but a better person. Keep up the good effort.Chabotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129584066890529774noreply@blogger.com
