So today was "solve the Autism issue Day". While we didn't solve autism or cure it we sure did get a ton of great info and we were pointed in a better direction today. THANK YOU EASTERSEALS CROSSROADS! God placed a woman in my path today that I so needed to meet. She has a son who is autistic and two other children who are not. She has walked in my shoes! She knows what I am dealing with and what our family is dealing with. I am not crazy. My thinking about Seth's brain is not off. He gets it..he gets all of it. He just can't always get it all back out. His tantrums are not bad behavior but frustration that we don't live in his world and follow his rules. I was able to talk with her for about 45 minutes and she gave me great insite and great advice! It was fabulous. She left me with her office number and told me to contact her anytime with questions or concerns of even if I just needed to vent! It's amazing!
After leaving Easterseals, we traveled to Greenfield. We were able to get Seth on the waiting list at Edelwiss Equine Therapy Center. Hopefully he will be able to get involved with them in July and really start making some progress.
After that trip we were able to get some books that had been recommended and then headed home. The kids were amazing! They were well behaved and patient and made this all day venture easy to do! I praise God for the day and that we were able to learn so much and hopefully get Seth on the right path.
I haven't felt this settled since Seth was diagnosed. I'm glad we had such a great day. I only wish I had a tape recorder when she told me I'm not crazy...I know some of you need proof!
