From here

I decided to write this blog because since my boy's diagnosis because I at times felt alone.
Like I was the only mom in the world who's child wasn't talking, playing with others or just down right uninterested in anything.
I tried to keep with this blog from how it all began, what we did to help Z to now.
But to be honest it's hard.
Why?
Time goes so fast moves at a speed that I can't seem to keep up with what I did. So I will stick to the now.
How and what we are doing to help him and his brother as of this moment, as a 6 year old Z and 5 year old E.

So here's were I begin.

E is doing well in school, he loves it beyond measure! Nick and I swear if he didn't look like a mini Nick we would most certainly have thought E was switched at birth. Both Nick and I were not the biggest fans of school.

Z is doing well. He's come far for a child who struggles with so much.
We recently put him in resources for reading and are hoping all will go great.
He truly is doing so much better now than he was in the begining of the school year.
Though we still struggle with over stimulation and his attention span from time to time and I find myself stressing, especially if I'm in a situation like a birthday party and Overstimulation kicks in and I'm going at it alone without Nick.

Advice given to me by mom.
**Don't stress! Z can feel that. Keep calm and he'll keep calm, take a deep breath and help him, don't let him see your anxiety.***

Thanks mom I will take this advice 100%.
Because as mom's were only human and we do tend to stress when the "Overstimulation" hits.
But we also have to remember were not the only ones who struggle with our kids...ALL kids have bad days, we just have to remember that.
