Yesterday I meet with the school board for Justin's annual meeting. We evaluated his progress, and determined what goals we want to pursue for the upcoming year.
Along with his speech and occupational therapy, I told them I wanted to implement academics as well. So what I'm looking to do is take him twice a week to the school. He will be a part of the classroom and participate. He will have an assistant with him at all times.
I'm really excited to see his progress, and how he does.

Happy, Happy, Happy
Justin has been very happy today ! He is very close to his older brother Joseph. They play together, laugh together, and wrestle together. Justin has been swinging a lot today. He's also been running and running. He continues to thrive with his favorite school app on his IPad. #autism #justinsautismchannel #aspergers

Meltdowns
With school starting I have been extremely busy ! Between Dr. appointments, school shopping, and lesson planning I've been going non-stop. Because of this, Justin has become aware of me having to leave. Thus, causing anxiety which has lead to meltdowns.
Not only has there been an increase in the meltdowns. If I just walk up the hallway or towards the bathroom he will start running after me yelling and making noises. If I shut the door on him, he will start crying.
I am very glad that now with school back in session, I do not have to leave him and run around much anymore ! #autism

What's Been Going on Lately
I am so very proud of Justin, and the progress he has made over the last couple months. He's like a different little boy ! He hasn't got to go outside much due to the crazy combination of rain and hot weather. He's very happy inside too.
Since the removal of the gate he continues to be very well behaved, most of the time. I have discovered that he cannot have any red drink, it causes him to get very hyper. He always asks for "red."
Potty training has been halted for now. He has stopped spitting his juice or water into other containers, thank goodness. That phase went on longer than I would have liked, lol ! #autism

Remove the Barriers
About a week ago, we opened up one of the gates leading up the hallway. He was just hopping it all the time anyway. So I Justin proofed, and he absolutely loves it !
He is so happy sitting in the family room with his brothers and sisters.
He behaves too. He doesn't touch stuff he's not supposed to.
The most amazing thing is after I did that, Justin kept giving me hugs.
He also started teaching himself to talk with his Ipad.
It's almost like a barrier has been removed mentally, and it has sparked something.

(Major) Meltdown
Yesterday, my husband and four children went out for a few hours. Justin stayed with Grandma.
He had a great time with Grandma, and was very well behaved.
Once we got home, about an hour later. Justin started crying. He had huge tears going down his cheeks, and he was inconsolable.
I took him to the couch, and just held him while he cried.
After he cried for awhile, he hit himself really hard in the head. He than looked angrily at me after he did this.
This went on for about an hour.
Afterwards, he was as happy as could be !
He hasn't had a meltdown in quite some time. I think it was prompted by the rest of the family leaving him.

Eye Doctor
Today Justin went to the eye doctor for the first time.
He was really good !
He played his Ipad in the waiting area.
He was a little apprehensive of sitting in the big chair. Once Mommy was by him he was fine. They had to look at his eyes with small round pieces of glass. They put one in front of each eye, took a flashlight and looked in them.
He got a good report, no problems with either of his eyes.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Backwards
Anybody that has an autistic child knows exactly what I mean when I say, " One step forward, two steps backwards."
You make strides toward a goal.
Most of the time, I've found it's usually something small with autistic children.
As an example, Justin was doing good with learning how to go on the potty. Than, it's like a switch went off, and we were right back to square one.
Maybe he just doesn't want to bother with it. In his mind he might be happy with going in his diaper, and not having to worry about the hassle of going in the potty.
It could be he doesn't see the purpose in it. It could just seem trivial to him.
Or, he could just be being stubborn.

Lazy Day
Today has been a lazy day for Justin.
After 3 days of swimming everyday, a day of relaxation was needed !
Justin played his ipad most of the day. He listened to music, and played his favorite apps.
He also enjoyed his new favorite potato chips too.

Swimming
Justin absolutely loves water, but for the last couple of years he would not want to get into the pool.
We have a four foot above ground pool. Once he got over the ladder, he would start crying and try to get back out.
This year, we tried it again.
The rest of us were already in the pool. Justin was playing in a little blue pool. He ran over to the big pool, climbed up the ladder and than ran back.
He proceeded to do this 3 more times. Each time getting closer to the water, until during the last couple of times he put his hand into the water.
Finally, he went over the top of the ladder. I picked him up, and slowly put him into the water. Once he was used to the water, we put him in a swimming ring that would hold him above the water.
He loved it !
I was so proud of him !
By letting him do it in his timing, and his way he over came his fear of the big pool.
