His mother carefully monitors his food intake as he responds to a gluten-free/dairy-casein-free/low sugar diet. During Safety Village, she brought in identical snacks and drinks for him and just told the staff to be careful to give his only to him. She also keeps a tight reign on his behavior (what I consider normal goofiness of a 5 year old can start him on a spiral). Anyhow, we're in a small town and he's just known as "the kid whose mom brings his treat" and the other children accept that. Period. He's just part of the crowd. My children are really "different" from everyone else, too, so I appreciate the accepting nature of the children out here in rural Ohio :-) Do you do any OT for sensory processing? Do you have ideas that can be done at home? Katie A little boy that will be in my son's class in the fall has high-functioning autism.
