PT and melt downs

Well..........

The only Good thing I can think of right now is Physical Therapy is over. 

OMG! We did it in a different room today ans K just had an Hour long melt down.  She out weighs me by 4o lbs so I am bruised from head to toe.  Don't get me wrong, she is not violent.  Just being close to her when she is melting gets me knocked around a bit.

She is happy in the bubble bath at the moment... and I am exhausted.

That is the part about autism that is really hard to explain to people.  Just the smallest thing different can set her off and she can't recover quickly like other kids.   The strength it takes to deal with it is just more than I have sometimes.  Not just physical strength.... emotional and mental.  How do you give them what they need, make nice with a therapist that we don't know well, and not take it personally when she won't calm down or do what you tell her to?

I'm going to make my self a nice cup of tea and go set in the sun for a little time out.
