Brendan's mood has been up and down. One minute he's happy, the next he is mad about something. His temper is short throughout the day. He broke a brand new CD that his friend just gave to him as a Xmas gift. So, I took the rest of the movies and CDs away and had him pay me one dollar. Of course, this made him mad and he tried to kick me (while he was in a sitting position). He missed of course. He calmed down after about 15 minutes.
At night, he is in much better spirits. He is a night-owl like me. We thrive during the night and are not morning people. He is still sleeping from midnight to noon. I think after all of these years that he hardly slept, he is catching up on it all.

Yes, there has been a large energetic shift in the world since January 21 again. The autistic child will feel the shift and they are very aware of all the feelings of others around them. If you have an autistic child beware of your feelings, do not try and fix your child's problems (they feel that energetic feeling), clear your negative feelings and calm your energy and ones around you and the child will also feel the calmness and react the same.
THE CHILDREN OF AWESOMISM (telepathically told from autistic children) by Suzy Miller
1. Our behaviors rarely mean what you think they mean.
2. We experience so much more than meets the eye.
3. We feel our way through life, instead of think our way through.
4. What you say means very little to us unless it matches how you feel.
5. We are right-brained, creative and connected to something bigger.
6. We are communicating long before we talk.
7. We constantly reflect the inner life of those around us~ even you!
8. The best way to connect with us is by being present.
9. We are showing the world what no longer serves humanity.
10. We are different but we are not disordered.
Once you understand and apply this awareness our life together becomes an awesome gift to be shared!

Hmmm......Brendan was doing okay for part of the day, then he got agitated when we were in the dining room. He kept looking about, and since I didn't see anything per se to upset him, so I got the Holy Water and sprayed it around, and then he was fine.
Then about one hour later when we were upstairs, he became mischevious. He went into my bathroom and hurled my curling iron at the shower door. For some reason he is obsessed with trying to break our shower door. I was not happy, and told him no more movies upstairs. So, we went down stairs. But, when we go into the living room, he grabbed my crafts bag and swung it around and hit it on the entertainment center. All of my beads (for making bracelets)flew out! The beads were in containers, but he hit it so hard, that it broke open the container and everything flew out. When he makes me this mad and is out of control, I tell him to lie down on the carpet. He usually lies down face down which is safer for him and me because then he can't kick or hit anything or anyone.
After he calmed down a little (about 15 min) then he got up and I gave him the MP 30C remedy. I gave it to him every hour for four hours straight. This seemed to work.
When his Dad got home later in the evening, I went out for a few hours. Amazing how a few hours away can recharge your batteries. Overall, the whole day, he would get mad at me. It didn't matter whether I said something or not, looked at him or not...he was just mad at me. We have spent 11 days straight together (with me only be gone for a total of 9 hours off and on during those days) so I think we both just needed a break from eachother. His Dad did remind me that he is 12 years old....(pre-teen attitude). Ah..yes..I remember that time in life...no matter what your parents say or don't say, you just don't like it! ;)
Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.......

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Brendan and his Dad stayed home since they were both still recovering from being ill. I was able to go solo to drop off gifts at my parents house and visit with family for a few hours. So,that was nice.
Brendan seems to be well today. He has had some crying spells and I got one headbutt today. I think the headbutt was because I thought he would want to go for a drive (just to get out of the house), and even though he said 'yeah', I don't think he really wanted to go. He has communication tools to use and can say 'yeah' or 'nah' if he doesn't want to do something, but he doesn't always use these tools (which results in frustration and headbutts/hitting).
He enjoyed opening his gifts. But the funny part was, when he was given a 'clothes box' to open he would just look at it and say 'clothes', stare at it with no enthusiasm, and then proceed to reluctantly open it. This was the first time I've seen it do this when opening gifts. The gift bags and cards were open more heartily!
I hope this week I can get him back on schedule. Over the last month (and this continues), he wont' go to sleep until 1am or 2am. Then he gets up at 11am and won't come downstairs until noon or later. Not good once school begins. We'll see.....

Well, I accidently gave Brendan a remedy that was too strong. I was suppose to give him the NP 1M and gave him the NP 10M. So, I've been wating to see if he will have some reaction to it. So far, he has had a few crying spells, but that's it so far. Whew! At least I hope that is it! I prayed that I was meant to give him the 10M since the 1M bottle apparently was found on the floor at Kathleen's. Makes you wonder.......
