Guys I’m not even going to start
this post off with an apology because quite honestly you will most probably see
many more over the next while.
I have a problem, this problem is
a part of my personality and a very annoying one in that I tend to fixate on
things and can get just a teeny tiny bit obsessed… ok a lot obsessed with
something at any given time, these fixations can last for a few days, months…
years but lately since we have established a diagnosis point and changed our
living arrangements my latest fixation is well my kids.
Yes yes my kids are always a fixation
in my life but right now it’s about establishing routines and schedules in
order to make life easier for everyone in the household, we have 5 people
living in our not too big duplex and things as small and silly as bath time or
tv schedules can sometimes upset the entire apple cart on any given day.
Aside from that I have been
reading articles, magazines, books and blogs anything and everything on home
schooling, ASD, Aspergers, ADHD, anxiety, therapies and methods, sensory boards
and kits and I think I am driving my family a bit moggy because when I say
fixated I mean FIXATED and I know it can get a bit much but now that I know we
are moving in a good direction I just want to help in every way that I can and
I feel that the more I come to understand the way Loghan ticks and the more I
understand why he behaves in certain ways the more I understand him and can
help.
This weekend I started a pet
project by building a sensory space for Loghan in his room, I repaired and set
up a pop up tent I added a heavy crocheted blanket, pillows, teddies and a
flash light, I plan on adding an mp3 player and block out headphones as well as
stress toys etc, I also took our black out curtains and put them up in his room
to block out outside light and interference and Loghan is just so over the moon
so I think it is going to help create a space for him to calm down in or zone
out in when things become too much for him or even if he gets angry and needs a
place to calm down which he is currently doing so well with.
I have high hopes guys I really
feel like we are on the right path and getting somewhere the ‘home schooling’
factor is a bit daunting because there are so many people who are against it in
our community which is just wrong and if those people had any idea how
difficult it is for some of these kids to get an education sometimes they would
not be such a holes, I understand why some people may think home schooling is
not the best solution and I agree that it isn’t for every child but every child
is different and everyone needs to do what is best for their child, it is as if
people are scared of the home schooling community like it is a cult that will
consume and corrupt mainstream children and ruin society… I’m not even joking
some people really are that against it but it has worked and continues to work
for so many children and families and I really am looking forward to seeing how
this journey goes.
Other than that I go in to find
out my wisdom surgery date tomorrow… EEP wish me luck
