Stress levels

Long time since I have updated this blog. Just have not had the time.

Treatment is still going strong. Increasing hours of ABA at increasing intervals. Things are going well. Speech is increasing, dexterity is increasing and normal play is pretty good. Besides the Lovaas style ABA we always try to make him ask for whatever he wants and try not to let him just motion for stuff. It is a continual task.

Having a child on the spectrum is HIGH stress. All the parents (hundreds that I know) have it. Some are higher stress than others but we are all well above average. It's interesting though as not much outside the house stresses me now.

An interesting side effect of this is work seems easier and all those other life things are really nothing to bother about now.

Just take it a day at a time and do what you can.
