So far so good
So the diet thing is working out ok. Note to self though, I do not like nutmeg. I also am not fond of bland food so I need to stop short changing myself. I've been eating lots of veggies and fruit and drinking loads of water and sugar free drinks. I've lost 4 lbs. It doesn't seem like a lot but for me its a big milestone. I'm so excited that I actually lost something!! I'm depressed a little and I'm not really sure why. I think its because I've missed my period, I can't even remember when it was supposed to happen, like last week maybe. I'll get it soon, its always late. It just drags me down while I'm waiting for it. I went to walmart and food city to get groceries, and its amazing how expensive food can get when you're trying to diet. It just about makes you want to pull your hair out. On a more positive note I'm catching up in school. I have to catch up my accounting and my english. I've been off since sunday evening and I don't go back until Thursday night.
To the subject in my title. If you've been reading me for a while or if you know me then you know i have a four year old son with adhd and autism. He's enrolled in the special education preschool at the elementary school. He's also big for his age, which he's lost some weight and filled out some lately but he's almost twice the size of some of the kids he plays with. His teacher sent a note home today saying he's been using his body, bumping into the other kids on the playground and knocking them down. She didn't give any details. She didn't say he seemed like he was trying to play or he was bullying them or that he just wanted to be next in line. I didn't get to call her. What frustrates me is there isn't much i can do here. He doesn't really understand what I'm saying when i explain that he's hurting me or someone. Its even harder when he's away from the situation, its already done and over with and now i have to try to explain to him that it was wrong. He doesn't get what I'm trying to say, and i just don't know how to explain it. I don't want to sound rude or bitchy to the teacher but really what does she expect me to do when he's doing it at school and any special education teacher with half a brain knows how hard it is to get him to comprehend anything. i know 9 yr old mildly autistic kids just like Austin who are just now starting to comprehend things like safety and pain. Plus the doctor and everyone else agrees Austin doesn't seem to feel pain like the rest of us and if he does its delayed. So really I don't even know what to tell the teacher or anything. And i did call his dad to make him aware of the situation and he just gets defensive for austin. Idk what to do now. I know Austin has an aggression problem, he hits and kicks and fights. He throws things when he doesn't get his way, and he ends up in time out for it 99.8 percent of the time. Sometimes i just can't get him in time out. So now what do I do?
