what a day

[Guest guest]

Well, tonight was bad. The Autism support group was great, but things with were bad. His 2 assistants in his class were there tonight for childcare. Well, Lexie stayed hom because she was sick. She is 13. When I got out of the group, , who is 10 and is high funct Autism and we just found out in May by the way, came out and said mom, you are never going to believe what did. He was hitting all the kids, climbing on the tables, yelling shut up and he pulled a girls hair. Miss and Miss Carmen took him out a few times and would not let him have snack because he was being naughty. She said I am surprised that you didnt hear them. Anyhow, asked them if they wanted her to come and get me, and they said no. Well, was reading and she overheard them saying they needed to talk to Mrs Lotito, the Autism person for our district and the one who comes for the home visits and runs the support group. They said we haev to talk about possibly him not coming back because it is a safety hazzard for the other kids etc. She tld me this when we were in the car by the way. But anyhow, while still in there, I talked to aobut it and then went in and talked to his 2 assistants. I said I hear you had quite a time? They said yeah and I said I know this is not at all what you see at school for the most part and she said no hardly ever and not to this extent. I said see, this is what I see outside of school and all the time. It is always redirection, timeouts, better choice talks etc and his one aide Miss said ya, well it went on way to long. It should of never went on that long. I said ya, I know and like I said, I am dealing with him now about it and will deal with it more once in the car. And, I left but I did tell Mrs Lotito that was hitting other kids and she was busy saying goodbye to other parents but she said we dont hit, we are nice. So anyhow, I feel bad because this little girl walked by while I was dealing with it with , and down at his level talking to him, and says he pulled my hair to me and I said i know I am talkign to him about it right now, and her mom sat next to me in the group too. And I feel bad too, because they people know Autism, meaning the aides, or they should, and this stuff is something that comes with it and I felt upset by the comment Miss made. It has been a horrible day all the way around.

Things with Jim and I are not good either. Not at all. I will have to talk more about that later. I have so many posts to get too. Also, Lexie was in the ER today. I am not sure I mentioned that she was sick all last week and missed school on wed, thurs and fri from migraines and vomiting all the time. The on Fri night she started to feel better. Then all weekend and Monday she was ok. She went to school on Tues and then I was called at 1030 and needed to go and get her. We took her to the ER. Well, she was feeling better. Well today she woke up and was vomiting and had a migraine so I took her in she was seen by our family dr and also the neuro dr that was there that he called in to check her. She got some meds and we go in for a CT scan tomorrow. The meds are helping the pain. She got a note she was not to return to school today or tomorrow either. As far as the ABA class on Mon tues and Wed I called them, and talked to the person in charge of registration and told her of the situation and i will more then likely be there, which I have decided to go, and told her what was going on, and she said that if i am not there on Monday, she will know why and that we will be in touch and I can be reimbursed, because if I couldnt, i would of just not went, because I am thinking that things will be ok, but what if they are not, and I am out that money ya know? But it is good that they are going to reimburse if I cant make it because of Lexie. Thanks for listening to me vent. It has been a very hard week and an extremely hard day today especially.Stacie Need a job? Find an employment agency near you.
