Lemonade anyone?

So, I have been avoiding the blog lately. Not sure what to write, how to write. I really didn't want to say this/write this stuff out loud. Then it wouldn't be true. I tend to avoid things b/c then I think they don't exist. I had my time so now I am going to make some lemonade with what I have.

For weeks now we have been anticipating what the psychologist is going to say. What the diagnosis will be. I have the news. Not great but not horrible. A mild case of Asperger's syndrome ---which is on the Autism spectrum.

Our IEP mtg is Thursday to determine what the appropriate education for him will be. It may just be pulling him out for some Applied behavior therapy and some resource--when he needs it. And, we will still continue with the OT for the sensory processing disorder--which is common in cases like Owen.

My good friend Kris has supplied us with information regarding a couple of seminars that deal with sensory issues, Autism, and Asperger's. I will probably attend one of these to get more information. I take the approach of knowledge is power.

OT seems to really help Owen. We stopped things at home for a week to see if it would make a difference. It did. He got in trouble at school and had lots of focusing issues. If it works don't change it, just reevaluate every so often.

So, I promise to post more often, lemons or lemonade. I know that there will always be lemons. But today I think I'll go with lemonade.
