I take Phoebe to ABA therapy. It’s controversial – but I have seen improvements in her overall ability to have better conversations and ask pertinent questions. Tonight – after a chaotic dinner – where her impulse control was tested – I put her to bed. Where it was quiet, and calm she looked at me and said….”Mom, Tyler and Tanner have turtles (cousins – where she stayed last night). One is a boy and one is a girl. Tanner says that his is the boy and Tylers is the girl. Their names are Molly and Jason(?). They are kind of small.” To most of you this is nothing. To me this was a huge step. Most of her comments are all over the place. This was 3-4 consecutive thoughts that went together!! I praised her for it immensely…and she was very proud. Thanks to the ABA therapist.
