Oh boy! What's he been prescribed? I think you may have said Adderall but I forget now. I hope he's OK. Poor boy.

I'm actually really pleased that the meeting was somewhat fruitful. Hopefully this new person at school will be a lot of help. It's not much time in a week, but it's a start.

It's been a terrible time for him and for you. I remember what it was like to be in the midst of chaos while doctors and schools couldn't seem to "get it". Thinking of you and your son.

Hi lara had to take ash off the adhd he got hives and was a emotional wreck and numb hands and feet it isnt worth it to see him like thatx

Hi Katy,
It's been a little while now and I've been wondering how your son is doing.
I'm hoping some of the support services have been put in place by now and are helping.

Please let me know. I hope to hear he's doing better.

Sorry i havent been about its been very stressful .No not as yet nothing changed but we looking at a alternative education place on tuesday so ash will do part school part this place so fingers x its ok.Iv recently lost my job what i love because the child i support in a school has had to leave the area due to foster home change.I have found this hard because we had a strong bond and i am very emotional bout him.so the funding as gone to pay for my job.so its a double heartache as i also loved my job.Ash has remained the same. How are you? Thanks for caring Lara xx

All the best for the Tuesday appointment!

I'm really sorry to hear about losing your student and subsequently your job. That's awful.

I guess due to the circumstances you wouldn't be able to have contact or know how he is faring with all the changes. I can only imagine how difficult that would be for you.

We're fine here. 1st term is just finished. Still waiting for summer to cool off. Longest and hottest summer I can remember. It's gone from Sept. to April and more to come I guess. I know, I know. Everyone wants a summer. I'm just waiting for it to go to the northern hemisphere.

take care of yourself.

Hi Lara, ash has been awarded two day at a independant special school a week and one session of specialist teaching .We are going to look at the school on wednesday.Ash doesnt want to thou but it is something we have to do.Ash has got his humming tic back and now developed a sniffing tic.He has had a major meltdown which led to a breakdown it was very hard to witness.Wot can u do wen u child is begging to b normal and for it all to go away.He has got abit more physical towards me too by means of pushing me my hubby wasnt very pleased and was very firm and angry with him for which led to the breakdown.Ashley really struggles to regulate his behaviour or understand that he is wrong.On a funny note we went to his grandmas and she told him she makes a mean chocolate cake in which Ashley replied "no you dont grandma u make a lovely chocolate cake" he took the mean literally it was quite funny but shows how he interpretates convos and takes words literally.Hope u r well and u family xx

Just when you get time, Katy, please let me know how your son is doing now that you have the couple of days
at the new school and the added specialist teaching.

I know it's been a transition time for your son, so he's probably finding all the changes quite difficult to deal with,
which is understandable, and that would be affecting his behaviour when he is at home. He still needs to know
right from wrong, so it's tough love parenting time. Hopefully that aggressive behaviour will settle down once he's
set up with a regular routine again. He's been on overload for quite some time now.

take care of yourself.
