Happy & Verbal !

Today was pretty much a fantastic day with therapy!  Like I mentioned in previous blogs, he has been taken off his adderall now for probably close to 2 weeks. At first I was leary about the idea only because he still (to me) had a fun personality but no verbalization. Today I had 100% focus and verbalization during sessions. WOW! I just love it! I am glad MOM made the call to take him off, it is so awesome to hear his "true" voice. He still echos vs. actual communication of his needs, with me. With MOM, he has at times verbally told her is wants.

If there was one thing that I want people to know, and to ALWAYS, ALWAYS REMEMBER! Children with Autism, CAN UNDERSTAND! THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY, AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THEM! Please be carefull, inside that little body is a human that feels love, emotions and feelings. (scientific studies and other people may disagree). I however, believe that to be 100% true.   

There, done with my sermon for the week!  

Peace & Love

Hi, Adderall helped my son focus but made him have horrible seizures. He cant take any stimulants. Thanks for the great news. Very cool.
