Thank you Kelly for sharing about the outreach. There are so many good messages on this board.
I took the summer off for volunteers and worked with Joshua alone. I would like to start up again in the fall, but I am dreading a repeat of the past problems.
Our main problem was that Joshua asks for me incessantly. I try to be grateful that he can do this, but it made the volunteers feel as if Joshua didn't like them.
He would say things like, "Mommy is comming" and, "bye-bye Katie" over and over. One time, a volunteer tried to go with that and went into a toy closet we have in the room. Joshua pushed the slide against the door and locked her in the closet! He is very persistant.
Some people took this more personally than others.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Also I wanted to comment that Joshua benefitted mildly from Secretin. His autism is connected to his MMR vaccine as well as my MMR vaccine. I am following Dr. Singh and Dr. Wakefields research. I think they are getting very close.
