[QUOTE="OrganizedChaos, post: 476054, member: 12670"] Aww, thanks so much! Some days I just feel like I'm running in place! I'm EXCITED today, though! Last night I had my first Autism support group meeting. It's for people with newly diagnosed children. It was really nice talking with people and exchanging thoughts and ideas. I got some good ideas to try with my son. Unfortunately, he was horrid for my aunt (who babysits him for me) but I was running late and had to leave right away after she got here so I'm afraid I didn't give him enough transition time. I'll be more cognizant of that next time. And the best news! This morning we had our tour and meeting with the school for the deaf. Wow, we were IMPRESSED! The teacher he would have was beyond awesome. She was very receptive of his Aspergers and talking about ways they could give him little breaks during his day and what not if he was getting overwhelmed. She clearly knew her stuff. We observed during their story time and he sat in the circle with the other kids in the class. <3 She told the story using only sign and he was enthralled by it (we sign at home; his teacher at his school now does not - even though he responds better to it). I think this will be a good fit for him. I put forth the steps to set up the IEP with our district and their school to get it going to make the move. Hopefully my current district doesn't give us problems. The guy running the support group last night gave me some laws to look up about this stuff so I'm going to do that tonight. Knowledge is power and all that. :) Between last night and today I'm feeling a renewed sense of hope and determination. Sometimes I need that tank refilled. :) I will keep trying with the sensory issues. Going out tomorrow (hopefully. I have a pretty sore throat today. :() to buy some new sheets to try. And the appointment with the ENT is the 7th and we'll schedule surgery then. [/QUOTE]
