Getting by

A few steps forward, a few back again, some realisations.

The realisations are sometimes the hardest to deal with. When you realise you can't educate everyone and just because someone else has an autistic child doesn't mean they are going to think the same things are crucial like you do. This means pulling your head in and just tending to your own, you can't be responsible for someone else even if they are WRONG WRONG WRONG.. ok laughing at myself now. We are all always right aren't we, no one else could possibly know better than we do.

So apart from my inner rantings things are going well, Alec is doing well at school, a few things need work, especially his fine motor skills and upper body strength. We finally found something that will keep him sitting still, Command and Conquer, yes Michael taught him how to play "tanks" tanks is now our new obsession, that and Teyla from Stargate Atlantis. We watched a bit of Stargate over the school holidays and Alec and Riley role play, they are the 2 gate guys and they always seem to be rescuing Teyla.

Everything for the fundraiser is going well, once again blown away by peoples generosity, I see another great day coming up.
