DS was off for the last month on break b/c it's like a school type setting. He went into his room, said hi to his teacher and began to play. He had to be prompted by Ms. Barbara to tell me bye! :cry: He is so comfortable there. That is a good thing but I'd like a bye at least! LOL

I got another mom involved with the group through our speech therapist. Our kids have the same one and my speech therapist was asking about the group to give another lady info on it and I told her to give the lady my email which she did. Her DS is in my DS's classroom and we got to talk in the parent room. She is at the start (like JUST diagnosed last month) of her ASD journey so she had a bunch of questions. It felt good to help her. Another mom was having a hard day (her DS is getting diagnosed at the end of the month) and we comforted her.

I love going there. I feel like I belong b/c everyone has a kid that has issues and many are ASD. I don't feel like the odd mom out for once!

I am so blessed to have the group therapy a part of our lives!

You are blessed.

I wish there was a group around here like that...

(Caleb needs prompts for stuff like that too... I've just done it for so long it's "normal" to me now.)

The lovely thing is that DS can stay in this group until he is about 5! I can even get scholarship help if needed but it's only $110 a month for 2 days a week for 2 hours each day. Not too bad of price for that.

I am going to keep him there until he is too old and then home school him. I just love having him there b/c they are so good with him and he has only 4 or 5 kids in his class all similar to him. They do so much with him!

Wow - how lucky to have such a wonderful resource!
Isn't it the best feeling to help another mom open up her child's world just a little more?
