[QUOTE="gypsybug, post: 506964, member: 13880"] Thank you TeDo for the ideas. I stopped in to chat with his school principle this morning when I dropped him off and we are going to do the IEP asap. I also handed her a formal written request. They know about our move in July so they intend to have everything ready to go to help him transition into the new school. Once I know where we'll be living and exactly what school he will attend, I'll make arrangements to get in and talk with them before the new school year starts. I am definitely getting a weighted blanket. The past two nights I have burritoed him into his bedding and it's done WONDERS. Normally he doesn't settle down and constantly gets back up to play or sneak read. Once I burrito him, and after a good long goodnight hug, he just passes right out. We've always had a pretty good schedule at home, mainly because for all of his life, I've been a single mom. Having the schedule just saves my sanity and ensures everything that needs doing, gets done. I'm engaged to a wonderful man now, who is very on-board with this and he has helped shoulder a bit of the load. I have never actually written out, or set up a diagram of the schedule. He would likely love it if he got to help. He loves creating "blueprints". And I do the advance warnings for changes, especially with bedtime, so he doesn't fly off the handle. For the most part, it works well. Sometimes I forget and boy do I regret it. At least I have that part down. I didn't know about the vague language and the literal thinking. I'm terrible with saying things like later, not now etc. That's something I an work on. And I'll look into finding an pediatric occupational therapist around here. Thanks for that, I'd never have thought of it. So I guess I know where to go when I need help, or just some understanding ears. :hapydancsmil: [/QUOTE]
