I made the call to our child psychiatrist's office today.  I explained my frustration in regards to last night's debacle and did so in a very respectful way.   I really do find that the bees with honey approach works best in situations like this. At the same time, I was firm and stood my ground.  This kinds of stuff happens way too often anymore and with a child like Gavin, we need to actually see the doctor when we're scheduled to.  I also realized that there's actually probably some protocol for prescribing Clozapine that requires face time with the patient on a regular basis.  Anyway, someone is supposed to be calling me back shortly to sort through this and find a resolution.  A reader pointed out in a comment…

It's been a really interesting day here in The Autism Dad household. By interesting I mean challenging, overwhelming, frustrating and heartbreaking, with a smidgen of awesome on the side. The truth is that I was overwhelmed by my kids today, especially Gavin. Elliott and Emmett would get along for a little while and then fight over what amounted to misunderstanding or not wanting to deviate from their set way of doing things. We had front row seats to several meltdown today and while front row seats are usually a good thing, when it comes to meltdowns, not so much. lol The main story tonight revolves around Gavin once again. Gavin's in a place where he's telling us everything that pops into his head. This is almost compulsory because I don't…

Gavin is spending the day with my Mom. There's no big reason for it. It's just one of those just because things. Gavin loves hanging out with his Grandparents but most often, he's with his brothers.  This is giving Gavin a chance to just hang out without having to compete for attention because his younger brothers are sorta hogging all the attention.   I'm really happy that he's getting some one on one time because he deserves it...  ☺
