I DONT KNOW why he's been mouthing things, or being a little jumpy today, or low appetite... I know the same as the teachers know... stop driving me nuts. Theyre a big massive silent enigma...Dovi's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832969333062206405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-60348229178019251982013-02-04T12:53:40.479-08:002013-02-04T12:53:40.479-08:00Moe has had strep before.

With Moe right now, the behaviors are pretty obviously communication. Because he is non verbal, we are working on giving him ways to say no, or all done, without scratching, biting, or hitting.Wantapeanuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11993949583915924482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-31350978215655448662013-02-02T12:07:13.754-08:002013-02-02T12:07:13.754-08:00Look in his mouth and throat.

Turns out she was medically ill - not exhibiting a bunch of "behaviors" to "extinguish".<br /><br />At my house, it is either strep throat or a red sore throat that LOOKS like strep but tests negative, or it is hand, foot and mouth disease type ulcers in the mouth and throat.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646382031666180357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-40222137038143361512013-01-21T09:34:28.926-08:002013-01-21T09:34:28.926-08:00The down times and the not knowing can be some of ...The down times and the not knowing can be some of the hardest for sure.

The holidays, spring break, summer break, - these are the times when my son goes backwards with crying, screaming, and general defiance. It is so hard - I really wish school could be year round. As much as I love spending time with him at home, it is so disruptive to him that I think it would be better to just have the same schedule every week, all year.Frango Mintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-14603639336045794882013-01-18T12:28:12.842-08:002013-01-18T12:28:12.842-08:00I love this story.

Finally, I decided that I was the disabled one - he was trying to tell me what was wrong even though he couldn't speak - and I was just unable to understand. But, he kept trying, and we kept trying. And, we loved each other so much...<br />I will continue to follow this blog.<br />Donna Kirk www.donnakirk.comDonna Kirkhttp://www.donnakirk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-70259327991461025002013-01-17T03:52:03.071-08:002013-01-17T03:52:03.071-08:00So difficult, Jen, but I am so glad he is doing be...So difficult, Jen, but I am so glad he is doing better this week. When we are together in March, remind me to talk to you about PANDAS/PANS in my OCD patients - I wonder a lot about this phenomenon and whether it might be present for other disorders as well. It will be interesting to get your take on it. ocfoundation.org/pandasPhoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418153726542149451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-31613568416548187302013-01-16T23:08:25.426-08:002013-01-16T23:08:25.426-08:00Ugh.

We went from being able to express frustrations to knock down drag out kicking screaming throwing herself on the floor melt downs. I still haven't figured out what is causing them though they are coming less frequently.

I know that dance.<br />Someone told me a while ago that they always see what seems like regression right before some big gain, and I have noticed that with my own kid. Maybe it's that?
