Lately

Well lets see. Lately Blake man is getting very aggressive. He is hitting, kicking, throwing, and pushing his sister and cousins. He is being very fresh and angry towards all of us. Its so hard to control this behavior. I repremand him and it still takes awhile for it to sink in that it is not the right kind of behavior. He screams and crys. We are just learning on how to handle this kind of situation with him.

Last night

Last night was a tough night with the Autism fits. He was flailing his arms all around and hitting me and my sister and his head banging on my chest. He hurts so bad when he does thats. He was kicking his father in his back so I figured he needed his deep pressure input and so I wrapped him tight in his blanket and held him till he stopped kicking and he finally fell asleep in like 10 mins of holding him tight in his blanket. These fits are getting harder to handle because Im not actually sure how to handle the Autistic fits. Am I doing this right is the question that I ask myself.

He is a handful and a tough little funny man. Its so complicated and so hard sometimes and then others most of the time are so fun and hes a real joy. I love my little man.

So Far...

Our little man is doing ok. He has his good days, bad days and even worse days. He had a really bad day yesterday. He had a bad night. Hes not headbanging lately which makes me very happy about that. Its been 3 days sense the last headbanging. I know it comes and goes depending on him so well see. He is having his bad fits of rage though. He tore off all the knobs to his dressers and all the toys in the toy box he just threw them on the floor and kicked them all over the place. Its so hard to make him understand that you dont do that. I repremand him and tell him no not to do that and make him help me pick them up. Is that what you do to a child who has this. I m not sure. I do know that I want him to know you dont do that and that when he does do it he needs to pick up his mess. Im confused.

He also still pushes his head along the floor like nothing. Were all still not sure why he does that but Im thinking it has to do with him having a head ache. But I hope to soon figure that one out.

New Diagnosis

We just got the diagnosis of our little man having Autism Spectrum Disorder and Pervasive Develpmental Disorder yesterday. We are now in search of Autsim support groups and othe infor that we can get on it. We have contacted some groups and are in contact with a few of other moms in a group that have children with it. So we are on the right start for finding what we want to know and for the people we want to talk to.

We have surmised this for quite some time so we have done other reserch on it and now that we do know for sure its a little bit easier to get the help that we need. I know their are even harder times to come so Im just trying to pre pare my self for that. I have been posting on other blogs of mine but now I will be trying to keep this one up to date as well.
