This blog is our journey after Austin was dx'd with autism shortly before his 2nd birthday.

updates!!!
Oh wow! It's been forever since I last posted but I haven't really had much to report either.
We moved to San Diego finally and got all settled in here. I'm trying to get Austin set up with EI here which is a real big pain in the you know what. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before services start. He has to see a child psych within the next two weeks and they have to determine what therapies he will get. I'm hopeful that we will at least be getting some ABA. I've also taken the first steps to getting him enrolled in hippotherapy. I'm really excited about that from what I've read online about the program and from what Thomas wrote in his blog about his children improving with it.
Also, I had my baby. 9 months went too fast and then too slow at the end. Kaitlin Adrianna was born April 28th. So far Austin really hasn't warmed up to her. He kisses her goodnight at nap and bedtime and that's about all he wants to do with her. He also tantrums whenever she cries. I'm sure it is due to all the changes and a little bit of jealousy and hoping to get some good ideas from therapist on how to help him handle this major change.

Yea! I've been looking to see if you had an update. The baby is adorable! Keep us posted on the EI/services. :)
Welcome back J, and congratulations! I am sure you are right about Austin and all the changes. I really hope the hippotherapy works for Austin as well as all the other therapies.
Take care.
