well, day two of medicating Tyler. His teacher is very happy. I'm cautious. I feel like my poor son is under a micro scope. He is doing this weird thing, started yesterday, pinching me, very light, then like pinching the air. In the car, he started the talking to the hand thing. Took him to Walmart, about 3:30pm, he ran away from me, FAST! He did not listen well at all. So, is the medicine working for the school day, and not after school? Is this typical Tyler, or Tyler coming down from the meds? The lil guy is really stimming alot today. Like a nervousness. His OCD is kicked up a notch, he is obessed with these three soaps I bought from Avon. He opens them, smells, and they have to be lined up. Yes, my kid is quirky, different. I need to accept that. With the medicine, am I trying to change my son? I don't know, still beating myself up a bit about it. It does make me sad that my son has so many challenges in this life, but again, I realize, that's reality. We tend to baby our special needs kids, it's mom instinct to protect them. Like my friend told me today, this is reality, maybe the medicine is gettng him out of the bubble he was in, the happy sweet child, nothing bothers him, and he is feeling more, aware of more things....hmmmm..........it's a thought...remember that movie, reality sucks!! I guess nothing worth having, weather it be peace of mind, a more focussed kid, a healthy life, is easy! ..anyways, kinda non eventful today, he is in ABA responding well, listening, with a whine, but that is nothing unusual. He cried when we drove past Pepe's, and I said beans, he said, beans.! I went back, and got him a bean and cheese burrito, and he slammed it! Most kids lose their appetite on this med, not mine! Again, my kid beats to a different drum! I love him for that, always keeps this old Mama on her toes!!
