Well today ends our very long summer. Carson goes back to school tomorrow. He will most likely have a rough transition back but eventually he will get settled back into his routine and he will adjust fine. This summer has been very difficult for him. This is the first long stretch that he hasn't been in school since he was 3 years old.
He has regressed a lot these past few months and he has become aggressive, destructive and very frustrated. We have seen a lot of things from him that we have never seen before. I cant even begin to imagine what it must be like to be him and how frustrating it would be to not be able to communicate.
He is doing great in Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy and is progressing. We are very thankful he has continued those services over the summer. We have learned a lot about him over the past several months and one is that having a routine and a schedule is very important. He doesn't do well with a lot of down time. He gets bored and has meltdowns, becomes aggressive and extremely destructive.
Hopefully this all ends tomorrow when he goes back to school. Yes, it's been a long summer but we have had the opportunity to do a lot of fun summer activities that otherwise we wouldn't have been able to do if he attended school
