This is about the wondeful adventures of Binky who has Autism and Inky who is his younger brother and mortal enemy and best friend. We happily live with Autism but we are not always happy. This life is a struggle and a blessing. I hope you will share in our adventure.

Happy about meltdowns! :)
I know you read it right, I am happy about Binky meltdowns, you see Binky didn't sleep very well for the last couple of years and he would nap and stay up all night and it was soo hard for the family but mostly me because hubby had to go to work so it was my job to stay up, beside I am a hoot owl so it was a wonderful excuse to stay up. I would tell Binky's ABA that I was having all these issues with meltdowns, but then with the ABA Binky was fine, Yes it was like that WB cartoon with the singing frog, only the guy would see it and no one else, Everyone who met Binky was like he is soo sweet and we just love him he is the perfect student. Well the jig is up, Binky is having meltdowns for everyone to see, and yes I am happy about it. Why? We can't solve what is causing the meltdowns and tantrums if we don't see them, sure I can tell the ABA but until yesterday I swear she thought I was making the stuff up. Yesterday lets talk about that, so we go to a mass retailers, it doesn't matter which one, during the car ride, Binky listed all of them because they all have TOYS. We get to the store and Binky loses it, we didn't even tell him he couldn't have a toy, he just knew and was mad as hell. Started running away and screaming, and kicking and slapping both the ABA and hubby. It took most of the two hour session to calm him down, Inky and I went in to get Binky's meds and some new bath toys for Inky. Inky and I got some popcorn and a blue icee, and Inky smiled at people as they would walk by. When the session was over, Binky was playing Angry birds on the ipod and ok, as long as he didn't go back into the store, the ABA is floored by what has happened, she has never seen this at all, and it going to consult her boss, and come up with a new game plan. He had another meltdown today and some of my things, (mostly crystals cats I have collected for years) took the brunt of it, but while it is said that my kitties are in the trash can. I am hopeful that we can finally get to the bottom of this and end these meltdowns once and for all.

I was SO HAPPY that Max's school saw everything with him last year. Meltdowns and no IEP were a GOOD thing.
