Autism - Support Across the Spectrum
Featured Posts

My son started preschool about a month ago. His behaviors at and at home are getting worse. He won't do his activities at home at or at school, not that he can't do them, he just fights you. He has been getting aggressive too. He has had a cold and ear infection for the past 2-3 weeks. He is finishing up an antibiotic and we just found out that he bacteria in his gut. I am hoping that is what causing his behaviors. At first, I thought it was because he started going to school all day. It now, I think it is because he has been sick. Has anyone else had this problem before and does it get better? I am just getting frustrated. We are hoping to also start aba therapy within the next month, just waiting for insurance to approve it.
I know there are ups and downs but it seem like we were going in the right direction, but now it seems like we are going backwards.

When my daughter first started pre-k she had a really hard time. I pulled her out for awhile and just focused on working with her at home and with her private therapies. I sent her back a few months later and it's been much better this time around. It's definitely ups and downs but I think that him being sick maybe the biggest problem. Good luck momma and hope your little guy feels better.

Sounds like your little guy is just overwhelmed. It is hard enough to get through the days sometimes, but add on to that illness and meds messing with your body, and well, yikes, nobody would be handling things as they usually do. Maybe a few days at home with mommy and letting him just relax and heal will do the trick. Best of luck, and I hope he feels better soon. :)

I agree with so much if the above. Think of him like a battery... Being sick is a drain in itself.. Add in the demands of school.. Having to DO, and DO.. And youre kinda tired and run down to start... And here you are saying.."i just CANT do it!" (Not I womt do it.. BIG difference) cause it seems like too much.
Id def give him some down relaxing time, ask a little less of him, give him a chance to replenish and then build up his schedule slowly.
best of luck.
