    Does anyone have any victories to celebrate?

    Does anyone have any victories to celebrate? It doesn’t matter how big or small they are. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Our latest victory was a successful trip to get my boys a haircut. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I may have something next week when my son participates in his first basketball game next week. So far I am happy that he is no longer afraid to catch a ball.

    My son no longer needs speech therapy. He turned 3 last month and both his private speech therapist and the school district agreed he no longer needs it. His expressive/receptive skills are normal although they say he may have a pragmatic delay. Of course on the other hand his clumsiness which we always brushed off as being a toddler before has now been identified as a gross motor delay and part of his iep is physical therapy once a week at his school. He loves being a big boy and going to school so I guess we win some and lose some. His official "label" for the moment is "developmentally delayed with autism spectrum traits" but neither the developmental pediatrician nor the school psychologist wants to official confirm it. Proud of my baby for how far his speech has come. At 2 he was severely speech delayed with 10 words. Now he is speaking so well.

    Victories

    My victory is having a meltdown but coming back upon realization and asking for help. I would usually shutdown and leave out of embarrassment, but I stayed and people saw me weak. I feel if I hide my illness I am an injustice to others and by getting through the situation I will have more strength. It is hard to push through when you are out of the comfort zone when you or your child makes it through they know next time won’t be so bad. We need to be honestly broken and honest and get help. I will not be silent nor hide my voice because too many depend on my voice when so many have none. Love you all.

    I am so happy for you about your son’s progress and his label can be lifted. Personally I was nonverbal and "healed". I am happy for him but remember you are the most important judge of his progress and he may have hidden needs. I feel we are on the right track and it is wonderful to reach those important milestones.
