...a big one too. After her chopping and my trimming and shaping, about 10 inches were taken off. All of the scissors around the house have been hidden after this. She smiled and looked at herself in the mirror with pride after her cut. With the cut she wont have to wear rollers to bed as it is too short to roll unless I straightened it, which I won't. I wonder if this was her motivation or she was tired of me not styling her hair when she thought it was a good time to do so or is it something else? Questions, questions.
Good news though, she has mastered one of her occupational skills!! Some of her other skills I am not sure how to handle. She is able to get on the computer and stay on and complete work which is great progress for her as over the years she would be itching to get off it. She likes to play concentration types games online but it's a no go with the board game version. She participates in class and answers questions aloud.
With the progress has come some challenges. She has started self harming by bumping her head on things or making herself fall over. She isn't hurt from the falls and if you weren't paying attention you would think hat she had actually lost her balance. I do not like the head bumping thing at all and she will also hit her head with her fists. My son is often scared when she does this. Interventions anyone?
We have also started a regimen of garlic supplments 3x a day with meals and aloe vera juice with meals in the past 2 weeks to address any digestive problems stemming from yeast overgrowth. We visited our family doctor's clinic over a month ago and he shucked off my questions regarding a possible yeast issue so I decided not to argue the point and went with some homeopathic solutions. I wanted to try the nystatin but to no avail. I do feel that there have been some changes, small, but something feels different this time.
I also started taking the same things as I have some of the same problems (minor) and some of my problems aren't like hers. I say that we have some of the same problems but I am not considered one with autism but as I am her mother, its not far-fetched for us to have some of the same things going on without a matching label.
Other than what I have discussed, we are moving along. Hopefully in a few months I will have some great news and details to share about the effects of the aloe and garlic.
Toodles!!
