After raising an Autistic child for 10 years you realize that not only have you lost most of your mind and all of your sanity but your organizational skills as well.
We somehow over looked 3 people coming over this morning to evaluate Emmett John for services. It all managed to work out though. EJ was evaluated for sensory issues. He apparently have quiet a few sensory issues. His biggest one has to do with compression. I guess he needs to feel his body compressed or squeezed. The other big one has to do with impacts. He is constantly jumping off of things just to slam into the floor. This one is starting to get dangerous because he’s jumping off of higher and higher things.
They return in the morning to evaluate his speech and get the desperately needed services started.
