Pretty bizarre. We never experienced anything like that with Pookie. I read a lot of stories about sudden incidents trigger autism or sudden improvements (both temporary and long term) but we have never had that with Pookie. He has been pretty consistent all along. There are little leaps but they are almost always the result of a lot of work on his part and then they normally stick around for good after that. I think I read that article a while back.

Have you ever experienced/noticed anything like that with pookie? Just curious. I am getting my degree in behavior analysis and work with two children that have an ASD diagnosis.

This post specifically would have helped me a couple years ago when working with comprehension with a student with autism. There was so much to learn that year to help him (and of course no training given to me). Just what you share about your day-to-day life I hope will help me think about what I can do to be a better teacher - to all of my students. I am learning so much by reading your posts.

Best of luck. Pookie is very lucky to have you as a dad. Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on this. Best of luck. Pookie is very lucky to have you as a dad.
