Just one of those weeks (total and complete whine inside)

ToastieSimons · September 2014

So we had the lovely "Attack Mom for using a pacifier with DS2" IFSP meeting

Followed by the refusal to be seen by a dr because of a $15 copay

Followed by parents observation at DS1's preschool-It was really saddening to realize that my kid is the most cognitively disabled child in a classroom of very disabled children. While he can walk and interact, he doesn't talk and is very into door handles right now (he just figured out what they do so he wants to open every door he can). He spent most of the time crying becuase he wanted to leave with me or put everything in his mouth. He was the only child in the class trying to chew everything and yet at his last IEP meeting they said he doesn't mouth anything at school. Either they're BS'ing me or he just does it around me. He bit me probably 10 times trying to chew the plastic toy and art supplies and when I said No he grabbed my arm to bite me. I'm thinking it's a sensory thing, he was so excited/upset I was there and was trying to calm himself down.

And I ran out of my Cymbalta (antidepressant) that I take for anxiety because I was so consumed with other stuff and it's killing me today. I feel like I just got off a spinny ride and I have to wait for DH to get home to go pick it up.

I need a vacation from life ladies. Thanks for listening.

I'm sorry you had such a crummy week. I hope next week is better.

So sorry, that sounds like a tough week. I hope your medication kicks in right away. You know what I like about this forum? Almost everyone here has had the experience of watching your own child interacting in a group and felt like someone kicked you in the gut. Do you have any moms groups or support groups you go to? I am so lucky my best friend happens to have 2 ASD boys. She has always been great with my worries about DD but has really been my rock since we got our ASD dx.

I 100% know how you feel about your kid being 'that' kid in a class full of SN kids. It's disheartening and I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Hope you feel better and that things get better soon.
