Star, that was great. we often are amazed that he is notlacking oxygen but I think you nailed it on the head or should I say the butt (breathing rectally). You made us chuckle!
I don't know if he could pulloff the broadcast but Ithink I could come up with a creative way to adapt it for him. thanks!
As for the Strattera, I don't think it is worse since starting it but I am not sure. We think that now that he is not raging and violent this is what is more noticable and on the surface. I certainly don't want raging back but I would like to keep my sanity.
By the way, the suggestion that mommy needs quiet time and so on.
Well last week I was exhausted and not well. I laid down in my bed (never happens with difficult child at home) and said mommy is sick and I need to rest.
So difficult child was very loving and bounced back and forth talking non-stop and repeatedly went under my bed on one side and coming out the other side, continuing to talk the whole time.
Big news though... He actually did a 50 piece floor puzzle on his own without talking and worked on it for about 30 minutes, TWICE today.
I will buy every puzzle produced on this earth if this keeps up. Heck, I will make the puzzles if it means quiet.
thanks again,
bugsy's mom
