All Things Autism

It has been a busy, hectic and kind of crazy few weeks.  I, obviously, have not had much time to be posting considering it has been a little while since I last posted.

Landon is dealing with some yeast issues, meaning he has an overgrowth of yeast in his gut right now.  This makes for a very unpleasant, difficult, emotional and argumentative little boy.

He is not much fun to be around right now, we are trying to make the best of it and help him through this until we can get rid of the nasty stuff that has invaded his GI tract.

I have to say it is getting tiring and exhausting.  It is getting easy to lose our patience and we are all short tempered.

"Autism" is kind of an ugly word in our house right now.  I think most of us are getting tired of hearing it and dealing with the results of it in our lives.

It would be nice to have a break from it, but that is not something that is easy to come by.

Don't get me started on Respite Care.  It is in great need in this area and there is an extreme shortage of places and funds for parents to get some respite.

We are continuing to keep Landon on a supplement program, but at times that seems so daunting, especially when you don't have the support of a DAN! clinician.    I am planning on going to the Autism One conference in May.  It should be a great source of information and resources for me to be able to continue doing this with him.  We have seen some pretty significant improvements in him, some are more noticeable than others.  Sometime I will post more info about this.

Well, I guess that is about it for now.  More at another time.
