It's 8:30am and she's been in the bubble bath since 7. In that time the water has reached a depth of about 5cm! She has the tiniest trickle of water coming from the tap and she is happy to stim off the falling trickle. She sits in the water and sings away..... she doesn't want any company ..... she is happy in her little world.
Today is the first day of the school holidays and we have the usual daunting task of how to occupy her. When she gets bored, it becomes much more likely that something will trigger an anxiety attack. So we aim to have a schedule for her day .... so she can see what is coming and fit it into her "routine".
Today she will have the Autism West activity in the afternoon .... a dance class. This is down Fremantle way so she gets several of her favourite things in one parcel..... a drive .... "Friendship Club ..... and another drive.
4pm. I went with Ash and Abbie today to show them where it is ...... when we arrived Kaylia waltzed straight in and took over some activities .... she's very clearly at home there.
