We went back to that new doctor that Easter Seals sent us to. She specializes in behavior problems. I really like her. She seems to have a good read on my son, and has picked up on a lot of his quirks already. He can be stubborn, and he can push back when he doesn't get things the way he wants them, sort of digging his feet in, and she has a real good feel for that and responds well to it. I'm amazed at how quickly she picks up on things!
I'm really glad she's working with Nathan. I do think she can help him, and this is the first person that really wants to understand him and improve how he responds to things.
She's going to go to the school to observe! YIPPEEE! Since Nathan acts differntly around me, any time I'm at the school he is on his best behavior. So having someone else go in to observe, someone who is not employed by the school district, will be incredibly informative! Now maybe we can start to find out how much of this is the school, how much of it is Nathan, and how much of it is something else (overstimulation?), or a combination of things. Maybe we can actually IMPROVE the situation, huh? That would be nice.
Ah, to have HOPE!! This is nice!
