Good post Fizz ... :goodpost:

The ball is in your hands to choose the right teachers and culture to work with your child. There are schools out there which are willing. But give the current teachers a chance first by working and communicating closely with them.

I think Fizz has raised a good point. I find that the needs of my child are a moving target, and it is in my hands to put in efforts to make things work, and if things dont, change and adapt.
From what you have shared, you have put in efforts to try to make things work. It is really your call on what to do next and how to do to make things work, as you are in the best position to make that call. Whatever the decision on whether to remain or change school, as a fellow forummer and a parent of a ASD child, I just want to let you know my empathy for the tough period that you are going through.
We all go into tough periods at one point or another. Just like you, I also have rough patches from time to time. Just hang on, try to be positive and dont give up. Our situation is not the worst, there are mothers out there with kids who have invasive conditions or genetic defects and they have not given up. So there is no reason we should. -

After visiting the pediatrician and giving him medication which he detest, my son is having very bad meltdowns and tantrums which we never experience before. His fever subsided and only slight coughing now. He will ask for his milk, and we give it to him.. then he will throw it away and ask for water...and then threw it away, asking back for milk..throwing things around.. doing all sorts of things that we do not know what he wants, when we follows what he wanted.. it has been ongoing since his visit to the doctor for the past 2-3 days, and he wakes up during the night having bad tantrum several times.. what should we do? i cannot bring him back to see a doctor again since his condition is so unstable..
Actually, my NT gal does that to me sometimes too. They are just simply sick and in a bad mood. Don't take it too hard alright? When he recovers, he will be much better. I remembered how my gal would wake up at night just to cry and made me carry her throughout the night. And I couldn't sit! The moment I sit down, she wakes up and throw a huge tantrum all over again. And mind u, she's a normal kid. I think my boy also never behaved as badly as her when he was sick.
My children hated med when they were younger too! Had to bundle them up and force feed. They will then regurgitate like a volcano. My boy was so bad we appeared in a magazine on it! Lol. Both NT and non NT hate medicine. Now both are ok with meds. My children will now ask for them becoz they know they get better after the meds. Of course when the meds tastes really bad, we give them some vitamin gummy bears. It helps. -

About the want milk, then don't want milk, then want milk etc, hey my gal behaves this way even when she isn't sick sometimes. Think we have thrown away a lot of milk. But now we know her pattern, even when she rejects the milk after she asks for it, we just leave it aside. When she changes her mind again, out pop the milk. Hehehe. We attributed that to her fickle gal's mind. Kept changing her mind! Now she is a little better. Now a milkaholic, she drinks a lot. Btw, we mix her milk with room temp water, so we don't have to worry about the milk being 'cold'. She drank room temp milk from the time she was a baby.optrex80:

for mummies interested in getting nordic naturals, pls try iherb, it’s much much cheaper. you have first timers discount and some ongoing discount on top of the price, if you buy little and fit the flat fee shipping requirement, it’s only 4 USD. of cos the waiting time is much longer than DHL. i just waited 16 days to get my parcel. i bought enough just to fit the box.
i bought Nordic Naturals, Baby’s DHA with Vitamin D3, 2 fl oz (60 ml)(NOR-53787) for\t$13.56, i guess it should be cheaper than vitakids and it’s liquid form.
from the email they sent me "Your personal iHerb coupon code is KUF887 You can share your code with family and friends. Any new customer you refer to us will receive $10 off their first order of $40 or more, or they can take $5 off orders less than $40. In turn, you will earn valuable credits in your iHerb account," i dont know exactly what i will receive if you use that code. if it does any help to cheapen the cost, its the reason i share.

I remember when i was devastated and couldnt stop my tears when i shared my son’s possibility with my colleague. He told me that the future is to be better and his NT son gives him more stress and trouble than his autistic son.
every kid will have his/her problem. our kids are just no exception but they dont necessarily create more trouble than other NT kids in their growing up. I firmly believe that once you find your way to understand him/her and enter into his/her world, you would look at him/her very differently. maybe you dont even think he/she is abnormal. to you, he/she is just as good as other NT kids if he/she is not better. Have faith and work hard. never give up.
i have grown much much stronger than just weeks ago. everyday i find happiness in my son’s little "achievement“, which draws me closer to him. -
helplessmum3:
no problem. everyone here is trying to help each other and learn from each other. Give us all your agony if it helps you relieve a little. only if you talk about it, you can release the negativity and be better next day. Let it out and we will listen. :-）

Thanks karkar, this the only place i share .. SO thankful having all of you here.... -
mashy and fizz,
i stopped trying the straw. you are right. he drinks from the cup much better now, spillage is bound to happen, at least he knows and wants to control his cup and water flow. Thank god he starts to drink water now. in the past 22 months, we had been struggling to get him drink plain water. If i ever have next kid, he/she is gonna drink water from day one. IGNORE PD on no water needed. -
Karkar:
Couldn't agree more! All kids have problems. Just different ones. To me NT or not doesn't matter anymore. When there's a prob, we solve it. Or at least try to solve it. Both my babies give me headache everyday. Lol.I remember when i was devastated and couldnt stop my tears when i shared my son's possibility with my colleague. He told me that the future is to be better and his NT son gives him more stress and trouble than his autistic son.
