It's been a very cold week and Gregory tells me that he thinks it's going to snow!  I really don't want to think about snow, but he's right!  Michigan weather is unpredictable at times so maybe we can slide by with a couple more warm days! I spent my evening yesterday reading other blogs on Autism and I found a lot of troubled parents. I never realized how many parents are at their wits end due to the stress of raising their Autistic child.  Some parents have suffered nervous breakdowns and others are on the verge of having a breakdown.  Thinking back when Greg was a child it was quite difficult.  If I could make it through the day without a call from his teacher that would be a beautiful thing!  For some reason he wasn't listening, he was throwing things, yelling or not interacting with the other kids!  It was always something!  After seeing a neurologist Greg was finally diagnosed with Autism!  That changed things dramatically!  I realized he was placed in the wrong classroom and the classroom for Autistic children was much smaller with 10 children, and at least one teacher per 2 students.  He was more relaxed and much more controlled. Finally the phone calls gradually stopped!
