N is for Nutty

Um. Is this thing on? So it's been almost a year. Don't really want to backtrack, just want to say that the "regression" that started in May lasted in fits and starts throughout the summer and then ended with the start of the school year. It was a long, long, summer. But Squish rallied, as always, and is now cooking along in his preschool/ABA/Music/OT/Swim lessons and in life. He has started using the PECS system and it's spurred a whole lot of language and comprehension. He's also starting a reading and writing program (at 4!) because he is so visual and has a kick ass memory. And he's turning into a little man. A gorgeous little curly-headed man who is making his way with us right beside him.

I'm going to be updating here more regularly, but it won't always be about Squish and autism. It may be about Squish II (who will be 2 in April!) or me, or the Hubs. That's been a change I've been through in the last several months. Autism has taken a backseat to life. I know it's going to be with us always, but it doesn't get to sit up front!
