In celebration of AUTISM awareness month: So far as medical science is aware, there is at present no cure for autism. That's not to say that people with autism don't improve, because many improve radically. But even when people with autism increase their skills, they are still autistic, which means they think and perceive differently from most people. Children with autism may receive many types of treatments.
It's now 10:30 pm Tuesday & I've been up & going since 4am. Tuesday's are just busy & full with Hayden's therapy, Shayla's soccer, WW meeting, trying to squeeze exercise in & wow, just doing all the normal things to make our house function.
Therapy is an important part of Hayden's life & routine. He needs it, he expects it, he thrives in that environment. Hayden receives some therapies through school based services & we provide some private therapy as well. Our thoughts are the more Hayden is immersed in speech & occupational services the better he is. We are hopeful Hayden will be able to participate in an intensive speech camp again this summer.
I'm tired & need to go to bed so I can repeat today's schedule again tomorrow.
Just know that kids on the ASD, need lots of therapies & you as parents need to get along with their therapist...it's a relationship that is two way & in the long run very beneficial to your child.
