RE: Emotional Support-OT I think

March 15, 2006

Thanks Kim, I really appreciate it! It is nice to know that I am not the

only stressed mom at the end of the day! I just get SO frustrated sometimes

and I want to scream. The other thing that bugs me is that I can't talk to

other moms with NT children about anything. I either get pitty for having a

" different " child or I listen to the endless bragging which of course I take

personally. I think it is sometimes my issue though. I get upset if my

friend calls to tell me about all the classes and camps her son is signed up

for. I fantasized about doing all these classes with him since he was born!

But now I worry so much that he will become oppositional and emotional in a

class.and oy the stares! lol

Hi Kelli;

Congratulations on your sons solid BM's! That would be a big deal at my

house too :-)

I haven't started SCD yet but am planning to in the near future. Sorry to

hear you're having a hard time dealing with your son. I know how you're

feeling. We have kids around the same ages (mine are 3.5 ASD and almost 2

NT). I am so wiped out at the end of the day I barely have the energy to

plan/prepare to start the SCD.

My kids too have roller-coaster behaviour - some days good, some days bad,

some days horrid. When I'm having one of those horrid days I try to

remember the little improvements my daughter has made. Anything to keep me

going.

You're doing a great job. It's tough being a Mommy!

Kim :-)

Pre SCD (3 yo ASD, 2 yo NT)
