Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

Ok so I mentioned Cameron getting surgery for his tonsils and also tubes in his ears. He got them done Friday morning and of course I was so sad. They did take him from me and it broke my heart to see him looking so sad and crying as some stranger walked away with him. I tried to be brave and didnt cry too much. The doctor came out and said that it went fine although he had some major tonsils and it they were deeply embedded into his throat. It took him twice as long to get them out so needless to say he would be in a lot of pain. ughhhhhhhhhhh. And he has been. He was touch and go with borderline dehydrated. He woke screaming from surgery and was freaking out. It has been so exhausting and draining. Finally he is trying to drink and eat some but still fights me on the pain meds. I feel so bad because he just hurts himself when he acts this way. I know most of it is the autism, he is stimming so much more. Flapping his hands and rocking when hes mad. Im hoping its just temporary. My poor baby. Not to mention he got sick either in the O.R. or something because hes got a respiratory issue. Ughhhh... anyway just wanted to update everyone. thanks so much for the encouragement and prayers. love you all

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Tomorrow will be better than today, then friday he will feel better than he does tomorrow. Keep telling yourself that, i bet you are at his side every minuite.
Its exhausting, get some rest for yourself too when he is resting. I hope you are.
