2 steps forward...3 steps back!

We have had some challenging days. Carson's meltdowns have become more regular and more intense. We never know what might set him off. Sometimes it feels like walking on eggshells because we just never know what will upset him. He was eating popcorn tonight and his bowl was almost empty and I went to refill it abs he got so upset. He knocked the bag of popcorn out of my hand, threw his bowl on the floor and started flailing his arms and legs and screaming. I felt awful and couldn't calm him down. Episodes like this have been occurring more and more. I expected his fits would get worse the older he got but these are far worse than I ever imagined. He is so strong that I can hardly contain him. I worry that the older and stronger he gets I will have no control over him at all. We have to take this one day at a time and remember as stressful as it can get for us it has to be frightening to him when he loses control. He has come a long way and we can't let setbacks discourage us. He is a fighter and he will overcome this!!!
