[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 204018, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, sounds like a big day set up for tomorrow. Enjoy the cookout - I hope that any man they set you up with is worth the effort. Sharon/WO, enjoy the football night. I hope you can stay warm and dry and still not disgrace your child! Honestly, kids! Andy, I hope your neck feels better. It's awful having a problem like this. What a day! We were late getting away but I felt there was no point in rushing. I had to take copies of all difficult child 3's reports from way back, so I printed them off over the first hour or so of the day (husband scanned them ages ago). Then we got into the city in comfortable time, arriving punctually. Of course, they were running late. difficult child 3 has been a bit apprehensive about this study - it's a double-blinded trial of oxytocin nasal spray. We talked about it on the way in to the city, difficult child 3 finally agreeing to do it. But he was still concerned, especially when he found that we had the chance to do the first two sessions in the one day. Session 1 - the interview, to see if he was a good candidate. Session 2 - the first actual study session after the first dose of nasal spray. Session 3 will be in another week or so, when he gets another nasal spray with another session on the computer. We don't know whether he got the dummy spry today, or the active oxytocin one. The idea is - oxytocin improves social skills in autism by dramatically increasing awareness of the fine detail of facial features. Once the trial has been completed and there are results to justify it, a clinical trial will begin. difficult child 3 was increasingly anxious until he made his decision to have Session 2 today. At one point he even grabbed my hand to hold it next to his cheek - he only does this when he is REALLY anxious. I had promised him we would go shopping afterwards, but everything was running so late that we didn't get to the mall until almost closing time. I got the most important household shopping done but some items I need to go back for, so we may be shopping tomorrow. I've got to call ahead first, to see if the shop has what I'm after. This hasn't been a good week for difficult child 3's schoolwork - he's been trying, but not managing the work. I need to set up something with the school to show them what I'm dealing with. We may need to modify his work. Alternatively, I could try to put his medications up the little that I'm permitted by the doctor - it might make the difference. But I can't do this on a day when he's doing the research study. Summer is moving in - tomorrow will be warmer still. Today was sunny, warm but pleasant. we're increasingly seeing sunburn on people who have taken early chances without sunscreen. So maybe if we don't go shopping in the morning, I can take difficult child 3 to the beach for a couple of hours. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
