It's been awhile since I have blogged. We had to leave to Utah for 3 weeks due to a family emergency. It's crazy what 3 weeks away from home can do to an ASD child. Transitioning back to "normal" has been difficult for Liz. She hasn't wanted to go to school. She wants to stay home with us.
We also have a bully at school, and she is making life difficult for Liz. It seems that Liz isn't the only kid she is picking on. We have been working with Liz on not letting this girl's opion knock her down. We want her to know that her opinion of herself is the only one that matters. The most difficult thing has been trying to get her to report the problem to the teacher. It's a hard concept for her to understand. Thankfully, her teacher has taken this issue very seriously.
Liz is doing much better with her sight words, We know way more than we did just a few weeks ago. We have been slowly working on one sight word at a time, and then reciting the ones that we already know. Reading seems to be a weak spot for Liz. I think she prefers math.
Overall, Liz is beginning to readjust to our life. She is eagerly awaiting Christmas and Christmas break.
