I'm proud to say that AJ is 100% poo poo trained while in the house!! You can't see me, but I'm doing the happy dance right now. He's still lazy when it comes to going pee pee but we are working on that. I'm just beyond thrilled.
I think since getting his own computer in November his vocabulary has jumped way up. He loves to go to the sesame street website and watch the videos they have online. It is the greatest thing to hear him repeat words, or imitate the rythem of a song. I swear it brings me to tears sometimes as I just sit back and watch him.
We were also informed by our insurance company that we can open a case file with them for AJ and he can get additional therapy. WOO FRIGGIN HOO!!!!! Tomorrow I'll call the hosiptal and see if they have any speech programs for autistic children that he can join.
Today for the first time I can picture a self sufficient future for my son. Wow, it feels so good to imagine him going to a typical high school, playing sports, having friends, having a girlfriend (oh my!!), going to college, getting married, and having children of his own. I can see it, and because I can see it that will be more motivation for me to help him get better.
I know he will never be cured, but I have hope that he will be better.
