Thanks for all the encouragement.
Sorry I haven't replied. Since I posted last, I noticed that my son was having a regression and I was so busy worrying and keeping tabs on him. It happened in the weeks between camp and school.

Now my son is back in school, his therapies have started up again and I'm hoping for the best. I am sad that we had come so far and now we have to work back up to where we were. I'm trying not to be depressed about it. Sometimes, when he's doing really well, he seems to be only SPD, sometimes he seems like Aspergers, and now I'm scared of he'll be going deeper in on the spectrum.

I used to allow him to cross a few one-way streets, I had to tell him he isn't allowed to anymore. He used to go buy a few things for me at the local grocery like a bottle of milk or a carton of eggs. I don't trust him anymore to do that. I'm just really sad that my "big boy" (he's my oldest) needs to learn to be big again.

His therapists told me not to worry, that I should give him a few weeks into the school year to get back to himself. But the what if never leaves me. Regression is so nerve-wracking. You don't know where it's going to end and why it's happening.

The good thing is that he is happy in school and he is relaxed with his friends. His comprehension for stories has gotten better and he knows the material that his teacher gives over to the class.

This past weekend with no school was a nightmare for us. It was a taste of what we had before school started and we realized that it's the lack of structure that makes him wild. Our days at home are more structured than most families but that isn't enough for him. He needs to be out of the house to snap into his calm mood and he needs to be in a program ran by someone other than his parents to be his utmost best. I don't know how to work this out. Most of his friends are busy over the weekend doing family stuff.

The other thing is that I decided to put him on an elimination diet. I'll have to send lunch with him to school and I'm not sure what I can send. I'm testing for gluten, casein, corn, soy, and eggs.

If you read this far, thank you.
