Thanks Thom! The day gets more frustrating after Dakota got home. Just when you think your dealing with one thing your dealing with another. LOL

I wish I had an answer on this one my friend. I’m so just learning about all of this. You seem to me to be doing what is needed and just loving and being a great mom. I would think keep that up and I’ll share things I’ve seen and heard with you. Check out this post by Susan: Yo! Little help?

Sometimes the simplest things are difficult to explain. As it’s been said before, Autistic children feel safe when routine, rituals are kept and the spoken cues are clear. Remind the family members, that Dakota cannot read facial expressions, therefore word games, sarcasm will be taken wrong and can cause a reaction different from expected.

Thanks Laura! Dakota at times is funny about getting his hair cut but at other times he doesn’t care. This time around he tried to cut it himself without telling us he wanted a hair cut. LOL
