[QUOTE="quietplz, post: 388675, member: 7702"] Hello, all! I just wanted to update a bit on the kids, for those who remember me. My bunny is 2.5 years old. She just had her ados. You ladies were all right and it is officially autism. She also has sensory processing disorder (SPD) and they think dyspraxia, but are not sure yet. Her language has improved and she speaks regularly to us, although I am the only one who can understand her usually. She also now seeks social contact with other children and if allowed will rub their face and hair blissfully even though [I]playing[/I] together is still a mystery! She is showing her 2ness with some sassy behavior, so we are now trying to figure out how to effectively discipline her when there is so much she doesn't understand. Our case worker is now working with us for hopefully transitioning to a Special Education preschool as soon as she is 3, so that is also wearing on my nerves. She still seems to need much less sleep than average and will wander the house when she wakes and that is eating my sleep time. My gosling, her seven year old sis, is also struggling recently. They thought she had ADHD and her activity level, attention span, and impulsivity combined to make school enormously difficult. The docs gave her a low dosage of focalin XR to see if it helped. It did for a bit, but then came the sleep disturbances, seeing people who weren't there, paranoia, increased impulsivity, more hyperactivity, and cool stuff like that, that continued after the medication was stopped. So they said they now think she has bipolar and ADHD. They put her on intuniv. So she is just now done with her week of 1mg and will have 2mg next week. She takes longer to get to sleep now and will destroy stuff if she gets the chance so I stay up later too. Baby bug is starting to cruise now, in his 8th month and nurses every 3 hours even at night. He is such a good, patient baby! And then there is me, losing my mind slowly, propping my eyes open with toothpicks due to little sleep and looking in every which direction to try (and normally fail:raspberry-tounge: ) at heading off troubles ere they start. So, where were all you other moms issued those back-of-the-head eyeballs, 'cause I must have missed that line! ~Barbara [/QUOTE]
