Kaylia's been "doing it tough" this afternoon ..... we were visiting Maxine's and Kaylia was in a bad way with high anxiety. It was one of those time when Lovan just didn't seem to have any effect. I resorted to Panadol before heading for home ... and that seemed to help. It's now an hour after getting home and she is in her room with the door shut ... happily sorting through her toys. I really hate it when she is having a bad time. It gets me highly anxious in response.

While at Maxine's, our cousins Rob & Gwen from Bruce Rock were there and we had a long talk about autism .... I had forgotten that Gwen's sister has two children on the spectrum. They are now adults but it means that Rob & Gwen are very familiar with our experience with Kaylia. I come across so many people 'in the autism boat' that it feels as though people dealing with autism are the norm rather than the exception.

..... but never fear! Our wonderful government has a plan to fix this problem ...... the definition of autism is being changed next year and then there will be a much smaller number of people with the problem! Isn't that wonderful!
