Dh and I were talking tonight, and we both agree that Nathan seems calmer lately. He still has his hyper moments and everything, but there are more and more un-hyper moments, if that makes sense. For example, before he used to always dash off at top speed if he wanted something, perhaps even crashing into people that happened into his path as he bolted. But now, he sometimes walks off to get something. It's a subtle change, but we've both noticed a difference.
Nathan told dh that he wants to get through the whole school year without having a "bad day." We both doubt the possibility of that, but Nathan insisted to him that the services at school are helping him, and he doesn't think he'll have a meltdown. I wonder if he is just parroting what he thinks we want to hear, or if the special services have really made a difference for him?
If the changes in him are due to the therapy and such, I wonder which is the one that is so beneficial? Is it the sensory work the physical therapist is doing? Or the music therapy? Or is this just the honeymoon phase that graces the beginning of a new school year, and the new-ness will wear off...?
Whatever the reason, and however long it lasts, I'll take every improvement I can get.
