Another day

september 25 2007

I'm feeling a bit better, even though I only slept two hours last night.
The rest I've spend coughing and trying to sleep....sitting up.

Well, a mom can't be ill.

My autistic son refused to go to school again.
Well, I can't accept it and I certainly won't accept other people telling me I'm a bad mother because I can't get him go to school.
His irrational fears are taking over and it really gets to my nerves.

I've written a letter to his psychiatrist who made so many mistakes, to ask her to hand his case over to another psychiatrist.
I need good medication for him.

When we first used Risperdal it did wonders.
His meltdowns almost completely disappeared, which was such a relief.

But that's years ago.

I know of other children that they need adjustments of medication, especially during puberty and especially as they're gaining weight.

First thing in the morning I mailed the autism centre for advice.
It's past midnight now and I haven't had an answer.

I'm not sure how long I can cope....
