I'm back

I haven't blogged in a long time. Life is crazy. I thought about just starting a new one since Victor isn't GF at the moment but really I started this to talk about him & his Autism so I'll just keep posting here. Victor is now 3 yrs 3 months. He has many words and some phrases too but sometimes its hard to get him to say something without a lot of prompting. We can 100% attribute his development to the AVB he was getting. I say was because as of January 1st he was kicked out of EI (Early Intervention) where he was getting AVB & moved into the school system which pales by comparison in the AVB department. He is now in a program that believes in floor time. the therapists are all very nice & I can tell they care about Victor a great deal - I'm just not seeing any results yet and he's been stimming like crazy. I know there's a period if transition but I didn't expect it to be this long. we'll see. I am hoping to get some medicaid money to pay for private AVB.
Even though I have been on this journey for along time in some ways I feel like I am just beginning. We have dabbled in the biomed dept trying CF & GF and CLO but thats as far as we got. I'm going to start doing as many great plains tests as I can & go from there.
