I mentioned recently that our little mate has been making some huge leaps with his speech of late. Every new word he uses unprompted is so 'franchestic' to me.
But with this developmental leap (and others I have noticed) comes a noticeable behavioral change as well.
The past week my boyo has been nothing short of loopy. Hyperactive, endlessly spinning and jumping and running and flapping... He's developed a habit of bolting when we are out places as well which is not a fun one to me.
Sometimes during the quiet periods I wonder if he really and truly is as autistic as 'they' say.
Times like now are a glaring reminder that for all the leaps we have a long way to go as well.
And even though more than six months have passed since his diagnosis, I sometimes need to remind myself that 'improvement' does not equal 'getting better'.
Still, better two steps forward one step back than the other way around, right?
