So today Daymar was out to evaluate Seth. She was observed him and agreed with the inital diagnosis. We are being told that his autism is mild to moderate. At this point we still don't know totally what that means. It does mean this...his tanturms are normal and for the most part related to Autism. The hitting and kicking and screaming that he does at time is also related to Autism. I told the counserlor today that we accept that he has Autism but I never want Autism to be an excuse. There will be times when it is a reason, but NEVER an excuse. She was behind that thinking 100%. She will be back in two weeks and we will begin weekly therapy. We are going to implement a picture commincation board and a picture schedule to get going with summer. She also did a sensory evaulation and found that in several areas he has sensory processing issues. So we will also begin work on that too. It's still overwhelming. We still aren't sure what to do most of the time, but we have a plan, and we have help! Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Our prayer is that we always do what is best for Seth and what will allow him to have a typical childhood and grow into a typical life.
Also pray for this family. I watched their story today and so many flashabacks of Seth's situation. I am so grateful that things worked out for Seth the way they did! God answers prayer. Please pray for this family and the little girl.
