[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for your help. I am pretty sure now that I was going too

fast, because yesterday I realized that her " stimmy " behaviour had increased

back to before scd, but I hadn't realized until then that there had been a

decrease. (I think). So we started back at the beginning today, and I'm trying

very hard to go slow and stay on the stage we're on. I'm also realizing that I

have been very OT for the subject line- my apologies. I'll be glad when this is

more familiar. Thank you again.
