Well, we are currently just passed week 5 of John's herbal treatment for ADHD and I have to say without a doubt that it is working.
We had a swingset put in at the end of the week and unfortunately due to the rain, the kids have not been able to play on it.
I explained to John on Friday that it had been set in concrete and we had to wait for it to dry.
He asked me what concrete was and accepted my explanation and went off to find something else to do.
In the past this would have led to me getting screamed at and slapped and him smacking the back of his head and pulling on my clothes. It would also have meant that there would have been multiple assaults on the windows leading to the backyard and him trying to pick the keys out of my pocket for the rest of the evening.
His flapping has seriously decreased to the point where he watches his favourite program and is just sitting there with no movement.
He came and asked me today if I would help him bake a cake which we did together but the best part was when I pulled it out of the oven and asked him to wait until it cooled so we could ice it.
HE DID!!!!!
Woohoo.
A few minutes ago he asked his sister Rachel if she would play garbage trucks with him.
It is a role play game that he made up from watching a Backyardigans movie. He Made It Up.
Unheard of for an Autistic kid with the degree of Autism that he has.
He is doing absolutely bloody marvelous.!
He looked outside and saw it was raining this morning and said "Guess that means we can't play on the swing set today, oh well".
How sweet is that!
At last, a little light at the end of the tunnels.
It is not only dealing with his ADHD but also with the Autism symptoms.
