Day one of the blog and we celebrate good news! After months or maybe years of fighting we have managed to get a statutory assessment for Boy Wonder. You would think that with a complex diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, OCD, associated anxiety disorder, Chiari Malformation and undiagnosed seizures that this would be easy? You would be wrong ! Boy Wonder you see is ridiculously bright and presents as the perfect child at school, therefore apart from eating through his uniform on a daily basis and being a bit 'odd' the assumption is that he is okay.
However, out of school Boy Wonder has a hard time holding it together. Our adventures are a mixture of meltdowns, random outbursts but more importantly unique moments of sheer genius from Boy Wonder and equally stunning shows of genuine love for big brother by Cat Girl.
The first few days of the school holidays have been a hive of hyperactivity and intensity, or in other words, Boy Wonder settling into holiday routine! However, the anxiety has reduced significantly and the feeling now seems to be genuine excitement and anticipation of the holiday schedule.
As a super hero family we live by schedules and routine. We learned the hard way that this is the only way to survive! The plus side of this is that we all know what we are doing and when. Therefore the next few weeks will be all about school holiday life including a holiday to Bulgaria, days out and the next Jiu Jitsu grading. Enjoy!
