How does your child with #Autism handle anticipation? For example,  do they stress out while waiting for something to happen, even if it's something positive they are waiting for? In my experience,  this happens when my kids are promised something that either never happens or is delayed.  Anticipation causes a great deal of anxiety in my kids and leads to this like meltdowns, sleepless nights and stress. This is why we never tell them that something is or isn't going to happen,  until we know for sure. I'm sure that this may be different for everyone and that's why I'm posing the question above.

Gavin and Elliott made their successful return to school this morning.  They just arrived home and Elliott had a good day.  Gavin was dropped off at my parents cause of appointments tonight but I imagine his day was good as well. Elliott is a little sad because some of his friends have moved to a different classroom.  However,  he doesn't seem too distraught over it.  Soooooo.... With that said,  Today's #Autism Victory goes to Elliott and Gavin for returning to school successfully. Great job boys.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos. I do know how to spell but auto-correct hate me.

The boys are all ready to go and will be on their way back to school for the first time this school year. While I will miss them, I also look forward to the break and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Hopefully,  everything will go well and everyone will make a smooth transition. I'm also really, really, really hoping that Gavin's body can handle school.  As bad as it sounds,  we need him out of the house as much as possible until we get residential in place.  :-( This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.
