Oh my little bri bri, I love this kid to pieces. He is improving so much, he now is testing at his age range for speech YAY! Having an autistic child is a constant unknown battle. The constancy lies in the fact that they will always need help, therapy and supplements. The unknown part is that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to a child on the spectrum. There are so many different things you can do ex. biomedical, speech, occupational, IBI, ABA, sensory integration therapy, and the list could go on. You can do them all-if you can afford it- or in my case decide which is the most important right now and focus on those. Recently we had brighton on B-12 shots that were supposed to jump start a lot of things, but no dice. Nothing happened. I really did not see any improvement of eye contact, emotional, and speech. I am so disappointed. From what I heard these shots were awesome, most people saw an amazing difference in their child. AAAHHH!!! What do we do now? Back to the drawing board I suppose. Yes, brighton is very mild and I thank my lucky stars for that but I really feel like as he gets older a lot of the things that he struggles with will become so much more apparent. So, I ask myself what is the right answer, and the answer is there is no right answer I just have to trust my instincts, keep praying for inspiration and trust that I am brighton's mom for a reason.
