Today was a little different. C had his last therapy session with Elizabeth. He is no longer in need of one-on-one ABA. This is awesome that he has gotten to this point in a year. It's a little hard because I needed the time with her just as much as he did. We will still see her, just not in the same capacity. Bummers, as she would say. She's our favorite.
C will continue in the social interaction group. He definitely needs that. We have him signed-up for after-school tutoring. We will see how that goes.
I have another wonderful dilema. Where do I go from here? I know that I"m meant to do something with Autism, but what? Should I form my own resource group, become an ARD advocate, what? I have an overwhelming need to help. To give to others.
I remember what it felt like when we were handed the diagnosis. I was okay, then about 2-3 months later I thought "Holy s..." I was totally freaked. I thought I was going to have to hover over him constantly (not that I don't do some of that now), watch his EVERY move and have my heart in my throat at every turn.
Some of that has died down, but I still want to give; need to give to others. So, any thoughts, words of wisdom and prayer would be appreciated. More later!
