Minnesota Autism Mom

I have no energy. I am sick and I have a toddler that has decided to more or less give up naps this week. Ho-hum. This is lame! Nap time is the best! And he isn’t really giving them up because he’s passing out in the car on our way home and is napping at like 4:00! I want to keep him up until at least 7, but the timing is so horse shit. I am so exhausted from this cold that I completely give in to this bad nap time. Something about laying him down completely recharges me.  I don’t have to nap for this to work. So I need to sleep in rather than nap. I need to change my schedule to meet his. And it sucks!

I had to go to his monthly meeting today. They might be getting a speech therapist at their location. Joy! How nice it would be to not drag him to another location. I hope it works out. I hope it’s good.

This month my son is being evaluated for 3 year old services. I am not concerned about his eligibility since I will most likely not be sending him to a public preschool, but if insurance or whatever comes up, I wanted it in our back pocket.

In my search to find medical transportation, I ran across these links. Hope they might help.

Find a speech therapist

You don’t have to be wrong for me to be right

If you know or have any personal experience with MAC or St Davids ADT…I would LOVE to talk to you. Please leave me  a comment as we are in heavy decision making mode and do not want to move forward with any new therapies without some feedback.

We are also considering sending our son to OT, speech, PT privately again. Just trying to find availability and a good location to make this all work together smoothly. It’s a non-stop search…
