Thanks to everyone who has emailed me recently. I am really behind with emails and so hope you'll forgive me if I've not replied yet. A few people have asked about how things are with Toby but there's nothing really to say at the moment. Things are the same with lack of sleep and frequent meltdowns day and night and lots of self harming, mostly hand biting.
We're still waiting for paperwork to be processed on some kind of respite and for further meetings but everything takes so long as it's bound in reams of red tape and procedure, which isn't a lot of help when you're out of energy for chasing and making a nuisance of yourself. We've had a recent meeting with the educational psychologist and Toby has been referred to the challenging behaviour unit and the occupational therapist for sensory assessment. All of which is potentially helpful in the future but not of immediate aid.
Will pop back later with a nicer post of knitted animals after I've been to the mother's day assembly at Amy's school.
