I felt like I was being judged as not doing the things recommended. When teh trial finished I was not told where to go fr help just abandoned. I shake my head now at that and wonder what would have happened had I been refered to a child psych who knew autism. I htink we owuld have had help and support a whole 6 years earlier.<br /><br />Oh well old news.<br />But at least those ofus with ASD in our kids can understand that we are not failures, that our children need tobe taught things in different ways.<br /><br />I think 1,2, 3 is a great program but I think we must remember to use visuals in helping our children and remember to look for the cause of meltdowns. Until we know just what is causing the problems we cant help our kids.<br /><br />Nothing beats finding the cause and addressing it by education or environmental adjustments.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798181779202425828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098592838939819977.post-44643627293016910762009-11-29T05:41:04.790-08:002009-11-29T05:41:04.790-08:00Hi Deb,

Made me feel like a great Mum, NOT. <br />It's hard then to let go of past experiences and keep trying new things, but I always think I'll go through it for Kyle because we both need any help we can get. <br /><br />Felicity is doing a behaviour program with Kyle through a student she has with her so we'll see how that goes first. Can only take in so much info at a time. I must be getting old!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089073823217373928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098592838939819977.post-75546016491128597302009-11-28T22:16:03.784-08:002009-11-28T22:16:03.784-08:00Hi Amanda, thanks heaps for that feedback, Im defi...Hi Amanda, thanks heaps for that feedback, Im definately going to give that workshop a go! Grace's school has run the 123 magic workshops for parents (free too!) each term, and I never bothered going.<br /><br />The last time I attended a behaviour-strategy workshop, was when Grace was 3 (pre-diagnosis) and it was a Positive Parenting course. I went for 8 weeks, everyone was getting fantastic results & Grace's behaviour escalated! I was the one at the course basicly put in the too-hard-basket, the facilitator just shrugged & said 'She has me stumpped! At the time I considered doing 1-2-3 magic, but figured it would be another waste of time & see me feeling more lost and frustrated!<br /><br />Its brilliant to hear positive outcomes from an ASD mum, so Im gonna give it a go!.....Griffin is starting to do my head in with the terrible-twos anyway (as you saw when we came over the other week - he's very needy lol!)<br /><br />Hope you're having a good weekend!Deb Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053704431995459525noreply@blogger.com
