Finally, we have shaken off the inertia and will begin some forward motion.
We have been assigned an FSCD caseworker. We have scheduled a meeting! Wheee!
The SLP at Noel’s school apparently observed him last week, but we’ve been playing phone tag so far.
I’ve signed us up to take part in a research study with the Sinneave Foundation that focuses on what it’s like parenting a child with ASD. The last few weeks my answer to that question would have been “hell” but surprisingly, even with Kyle out of town since Tuesday, my mind has changed, and now I can see a bit of the sun again, peeking out from behind my stormclouds.
Noel was a skeleton for Halloween. He loves for us to name the bones he has – skull, shin, ankle, spine. For the first time ever, I made his costume and I think it turned out rather nicely. Holland was a storebought Garden Gnome. I would share photos but I have a new computer and I can’t upload photos as the drive has not been mapped for me.

It’s funny what a difference 24 hours makes. Because where yesterday, before Holland awoke from her nap and interrupted me mid thought, I was feeling optimistic, today I am back, right back, into the claws of grief.
Current stage? Anger. Didn’t I go through this one already? Who knows.
Anyways. My mom arrives this evening to stay with us for a little one, and I am determined to help her have a good visit. Determined.

one of my friends says that with ASD one goes through the stages – denial anger etc – over and over again
