We’re getting good reports from the teachers, which is a
change from before. However, I suspect
his behaviour is the same. The
expectations are what has changed. But
overall, he seems happy and the staff are better able to deal with him. Which confirms that switching schools was the
right decision.
Transportation is working out, too. The morning driver is quite cheerful and
friendly. I wish Alex didn’t have to
spend as long in the car but maybe we’ll get lucky and a spot will open in a
closer school for next September.
Our latest strategy in bedding is working out as well. We got a two inch plastic covered foam
camping mattress and put that on Alex’s bed covered by a doubled-over duvet. It’s a little more cushiony than the duvet on
its own and so far he hasn’t tried to tear apart the mattress. When he has an overnight accident, we can
just switch out the duvet and wash it.
We have three of them to make sure he always has one.
I’m sure he will eventually find a way around what we’ve
done. He always has. We’re always working on short term
solutions. But sometimes if you string
enough short term solutions together, you can give yourself enough time to deal
with the underlying issue.
