Specifically praying that the medication switch will bring about the changes you are hoping for. Like many have said above, you're a great mom. And maybe this sounds too sentimental, but your love and support are more important than always having the right answers.Donna Jannuzzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905329963640596815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350283423910760507.post-74676188815967355112010-10-28T09:58:41.321-05:002010-10-28T09:58:41.321-05:00I totally understand about the unstructured playti...I totally understand about the unstructured playtime. My son told me in Kindergarten: "mom, I don't know what to do during free time. Mostly I just walk around." And yet he's at least 3 years ahead of his peers in math skills!<br /><br />I have made sure Jake's teachers can recognize his triggers (i.e. when he is distressed) and encouraged them to redirect him before issues arise . . . but I know it's so hard.Jen Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561936317289752384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350283423910760507.post-50659679438905812042010-10-25T21:25:48.184-05:002010-10-25T21:25:48.184-05:00Saw this at work and of course can't comment t...Saw this at work and of course can't comment there, I recgonized that color palette from a mile away, that's how good you are with interpreting those palettes. <br /><br />About your DS, I don't know what to say except that you have my admiration and warm thoughts, it's not tough dealing with kids of any kind, let alone with Autism.

Your tears are for the struggle he faces and as his mother the tears will be many. But, the joys will be plentiful and the the happiness he brings will make all the fears easier to handle. He needs your strength, thank goodness you are an incredibly strong woman!alisonmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237868519825664730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350283423910760507.post-82105518969269611572010-10-20T17:30:13.524-05:002010-10-20T17:30:13.524-05:00That must be so hard, Jennifer:( You are a great m...That must be so hard, Jennifer:( You are a great mama doing a great job!

That said, we do have expectations and they know that. I think you're doing a marvelous job of remaining calm as you try to find the best path and best meds to make everyone's days better!Monika Wright | I Love It Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359256107280909108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350283423910760507.post-26857446711840994132010-10-20T12:24:25.495-05:002010-10-20T12:24:25.495-05:00I have so much admiration for parents like you.
