OK so I am paying $1000's of dollars a year on therapy to teach my autistic child to talk and here are some samples of what he is learning: "Shit, Crap, Dammit, I want squeezes Woman!" Doesn't that make a mama proud !?!?!? He says the curse words at appropriate times too which really cracks me up. "Lucas it is time to put the book down and go to bed"- he says "Crap, crap, crap, crap............" about 20 X in response to go to bed! Then I have been telling him if he wants hugs or squeezes as he calls them, he has to say I want squeezes............ well today he said I want squeezes.......... woman! Oh my Lordy did I laugh at that one.
My mom came over to have dinner and hang out to catch up on things and she said she saw remarkable progress with him over the past couple of weeks. We have been doing supplements lately that are new so we are hopeful that they are helping- he just seems so much more focused, following directions well, and talking so much more. We are very excited about his progress. I will keep you all posted........... we see a specialist in Houston Thursday at Texas Children's- he is a neurologist that only works with autistic children so it will be great to see what he thinks about Lucas' progress as well as hopefully address the ongoing sleep issues. It is better but still not sleeping all night consistently.
