Strange Day!

Today Brody has only ate toast with Jam and had all sorts of different drinks. He has felt like other stuff and i make it for him and then he dosen't want it. I think he has felt a bit off, but its hard to know as he cant express how he feels. The Autism lady will be making up a feeling chart and i hope this will help him to express his feeling a lot more.
He had a strange day today as grandma and grandpa had to go to the doctors for grandma's foot as it has swollen up with fluid and she cant walk on it. She is in a lot of pain and Doctor said she might need a operation to fuse her ankle together. This was not good news!
But because Grandma and Grandpa wasn't here, we had Auntie Dianne and Uncle Peter to watch over my grandfather, so Brody was active and full of beans as strangers were here in the house. He could not settle and ran around the house for most of the day. Otherwise he is ok and has now gone to sleep early.

The video i have posted is of Brody doing a drawing, to help him learn how to sit and do this. Brody has no idea how to play with things or even begin to draw things, so he needs to be taught how to, this is part of the Autism. Most children play with play dough and make things Brody cant not do this but he is getting there. There is alot of work and knowledge you have to have to help Autism children and if you dont you will find they will just be stressed and wont learn the right things. Hope you enjoy it!
