IEP Meeting and Thursday Thankfulness

How fortunate for me that our annual review and IEP meeting happened to fall on a Thursday.  So I can cage two birds at once (I see no reason for violence and killing of innocent creatures).  What is instilling gratitude this week?

I am thankful that we got all of Gus’s services renewed for next year without [...]

Getting a Cavity Filled

If you recall about a month ago, I posted about Gus’s trip to a new dentist. I was less than thrilled, but I decided to keep his appointment to get his 3 cavities taken care of. Instead of worrying about the dentist’s behavior, I decided to focus on him and preparing him for today’s [...]

It’s Duck Season…No, It’s Wabbit Season…No, It’s Tick Season

What’s more fun than a barrel of rage-infected monkeys? Trying to remove a very large, very gross, very embedded, and very engorged tick from your very panicky autistic child. And for extra laughs, try doing it in a supermarket parking lot.

Yesterday, my poor Gus found a huge tick behind his right ear. He seemed [...]

IEP Assessments

I recently wrote an article on Understanding IEP Assessments for Bright Hub and thought I’d put some comments here as well. I’ve always found the assessment score portion of Gus’s IEP to be more complicated than deciphering the Dead Sea Scrolls, but I’ve come to gain a little better understanding of them. They’re not [...]

How to Get Your Asperger’s Child to Give up That Loose Tooth

Gus has a few loose teeth, but there was one that was sticking out and was clearly ready to come out. When it finally got to the point of hanging by a threadlike piece of skin, even he wanted it out lest he accidentally swallow it. There was a sort of approach-avoidance thing happening. [...]
