Mud

I know with children on the autism spectrum that there are generally times when life seems to be progressing and you see a change in your child. There are other times when there are steps backward. It's during those times that I try to be positive and focused on the successes.

Braedon has had trouble this school year with his ability to focus and concentrate. It appears that in addition to his autism he struggles with ADD. His teacher and the doctor at the school have given some great recommendations for medications. Dean and I aren't 100% on board with medicating our four year-old. I've decided to do some research on homeopathic remedies. I've tried his diet and that doesn't seem to have any affect on him, so I'm open. Wish me luck and feel free to donate information.

It's not frustration that I feel over this small set back. I sometimes feel like I'm in a giant swimming pool full of really thick mud and I'm trying very hard to swim to the other side. That's me today. Stuck in thick mud, but still swimming....wish me luck.
