So, dairy has not been a regular part of CB’s diet for 2.5 years. We have tried introducing it back into his diet a couple of times but for various reasons have removed dairy each time after a few weeks or a month or so. This time Olem and I decided to add it back into his diet because 1) his latest 2 lab results look good, 2) his behavior has been more manageable for a couple of months, 3) his allergies are not bothering him currently, and 4) we do not want the food group entirely eliminated if it doesn’t need to be.
We started with whole cow’s milk yogurt today and will try it for several days, remove it for a few days, and monitor results. Fingers crossed his body accepts the change and we don’t see negative side effects.
This is sort of crazy, but CB is still in the same phase he was in from my last post in early May. What?? He has remained in a more positive place and has been more flexible with correcting his use of negative words during vocal outbursts/stems and modifying his inappropriate behavior with friends and younger brother. Maybe summer break suits him :).
CB watched his 3rd movie at the theater this past weekend, Cars3. We went to a sensory-friendly showing so kid attendance was high. CB stayed the whole time inside the theater and in his seat . He started wearing his headphones after the previews (which were slightly quieter). CB did ask to leave 2 times but his heart was not in his request. He didn’t insist on it. His teddy and headphones made him feel safe.
