Carson is doing well. School is going great and he is doing so well. He is blowing kisses now and waving again. He can identify his nose, mouth, eyes and ears. This is a big accomplishment. We have been working on this since he started speech therapy when he was just 2 years old. We are having some issues with his hyperactivity and we tried adderall but quickly discontinued it because it made Carson very irritable. Stimulants don't work well with children with Autism so we are going to keep him off of medicine for now and try something else when he's older. Another obstacle we are having is getting him poop trained. He does great on the potty and rarely has accidents but he will not poop on the potty. He waits until he is alone in his room with a diaper on then poops. The problem is he doesn't wait for us to change him. He will take the diaper off which results in a big mess. We have to find a solution for this but just haven't yet. That is our biggest challenge right now. Overall he is doing great and making new sounds everyday. He is doing excellent in speech therapy and occupational therapy. We are very happy with his progress!
