Laura woke up last night at 2:48 and then again at 5:38 this morning. I didn’t get into bed until around midnight, which didn’t help me much. I am so tired, technically I got enough sleep, it was just all broken up so I just feel tired. Well so far the ruling is that Gavin has some form of Autism. The spectrum is so large for Autism, but we do know that he is on the end, just barely there. His main issue is his speech. He does do some of the other “stuff” that is typical of Autism, as he “hums” a lot…did I spell that right? He does line his toys up, *sometimes*. He also usually has something in his hand that he rolls around between his fingers, most of the time it is lint that he finds on blankets, the carpet, or his clothing. He does make eye contact a lot, but it is just very short, as if he is too busy to look at us. Eric and I thought it could be Autism way back but we were just in denial. He also likes to spin in circles, but we just though he did that because he is wild. Lol. We just kept thinking that he would “catch” up on his own. He has made a lot of progress the last few months, but he is still WAY behind for his age. We meet with the two ladies from the school board the other day and he was approved for preschool classes. He will start sometime before the end of next month. Today he totally freaked out because I did not have any bread. It was really strange. He acted like it was the end of the world! I am just going to get Eric to stop on his way home from work tonight to get some. We are very optimistic that with some help in school and some speech therapy that he will do just fine. We still will have to fork out more money to get the “final diagnosis”. Just to have it written on paper to show the government so we can get some extra help for him. We are sad to see him start school, but excited about it as well. We are excited to see the progress he makes! We hear that this will do wonders for him! We love the little booger though, and will miss him too.
