I sometimes forget....


It’s been a while since my last post.  Honestly, I just haven’t felt the need to write.  Our little Autism journey still exists, but like with anything, it isn’t so different to us anymore.  It’s normal life.  It’s what we do. 

Our boy is 10 years old now.  Heading into his last year of elementary school.  He no longer has intensive therapy.  He is in a mainstreamed class in school.  He goes to religious school, takes drum lessons and has fallen in love with you-tube videos.  Normal 10 year kid, right?

So why did yesterday hurt so bad?  I went to his school for an observation.  An opportunity to see him in his school environment, make sure that he is receiving the best services for his IEP (Individualized Education Program).  He blended right in among his peers.  But I saw it. 

I saw it when he demanded that his teacher set the timer that he brought into school during math time.  And since math was a little different that day because of an assessment, he wandered around the room, a little lost and not sure what to do about the timer.  It took his teachers three times to redirect him to be able to get to work and not focus on the timer.

I saw it when the teacher said math was over, and he yelled out, “No it isn’t!  The timer didn’t go off. “  The teacher gave him a kind smile and went with it, asking kids to start wrapping it up instead.

I saw it when he was sitting in his large classroom, mind wandering, not really paying attention and just copying the image the teacher drew as an example in science class. 

I saw it when he was directed to work with peers, and they were talking and trying to work on a problem together.  He was too busy looking at the time to be sure everything was on schedule. 

I saw it when I watched other kids interacting with each other.  Joking, teasing, dancing, being silly together.  There were a few that would call out my kid’s name to say bye on the way out.  But it wasn’t the same.  Another kid has our same last name.  I heard someone ask if he and my boy were related.  This kid was embarrassed and yelled “no!”  Typical kid stuff, yes?  A little raw to me?  Even more so.

My son still loves his preschool shows and characters.  He loves his light poles from a busy street near our home, and carries around a deck of photos of screenshots he took of the street.   The books he is reading are about two grade levels below what the other kids are reading.   And I don’t mean to compare.  I’m just usually not in that situation to see it so upfront.  To feel it so sensitively.

I know he’s special.  I know his talents shine in other ways.   I know he’s not like all the other kids.  It’s just that sometimes I forget that other kids are not like him.

  6. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
    Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresSclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases.Hiv_ Aids,Herpe ,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,
    Dementia.(measles, tetanus, whooping cough, tuberculosis, polio and diphtheria)
    Hpv,All Cancer Types,Diabetes,Hepatitis,I read about him online how he cure Tasha and Tara so i contacted him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com / info@drituaherbalcenter.com. even talked on whatsapps +2348149277967 believe me it was easy i drank his herbal medicine for two weeks and i was cured just like that isn't Dr Itua a wonder man?

  7. HOW I WAS CURED TOTALLY FROM AUTISM
    I had my first attack of (AUTISM) when I was a kid, I wasn't diagnosed until 27 years later when I was totally experiencing speech delay. It was so terrifying that I began dropping things and losing sensitivity to sounds, having severe fatigue and muscle weakness. A horrible poor eyes contact began. I sometimes can't walk straight and fall onto walls and I get leaning disability, the English medications i used proved abortive. i was so frustrated that i had to contact My neurologist,he told me about a new RRMS (relapsing-remitting MS) drug which was only in its trial stage, CAMPATH. I started the chemo-type treatment and some prescribed drugs like: RISPERDAL, EFFEXOR XR, GEODON and MEMANTINE. which resulted in 1st seizure of my life, thereby adding more salt to my injury. As a result to proffer solution to my problems, i started going online in search for a cure, i came across a testimony of a woman who got her son cure through HERBAL MEDICATION, at first, i doubted because of the misconception that autism can not be cured. But i later contacted the Doctor through the email provided, and I used his Herbal product, after 1 month of use, I noticed tremendous improvement in my health, 5 months after, I can proudly say, I've been totally cured by Dr.williams Herbal Medication from AUTISM..., If you have the same health issue, you may contact him for a total change of story, Via: drwilliams098675@gmail.com . I believe your predicament will be a thing of the past just like mine.

  9. This is a common problem in kids but it's side effects can be dangerous. I am known to some proven treatments for this and weighted blankets are simplest of them. You have to buy a weighted blanket to your baby and he will feel better. Heavy blankets for anxiety
