Coby was born a normal little darling with no signs of any type of learning or behavior issues at all. He grew his first year at a normal rate with all the landmarks of growth being met naturally. It was just shortly after his first birthday we started to notice that there were little changes beginning in his personailty and sleeping habits. The words that he was learning were begining to be lost by time he was 18 months. Sleeping had become a non existant enity in the Robinson house hold. I don't know how they made it through those first two or three years until he was diagnosed with moderate form of autism.
I want to be able to start a journal on his progress from this point in time. He has been in therapy for several years, occupational therapy and speech. He has been in a school setting for two years this is the beginning of his third year. He has teachers and assists that have followed him from the beginning of his diagnosis .
I will be taking pictures and video of regular everyday tasks that Coby goes through regularly. I wish to capture some of his OCD tendancies and his communication skills. I want to be able to capture the emotional bonds that he is able to connect with several people. Along with the interactions he has with his peers, ie brothers, sister, cousins, teachers, etc.
The reason I want to start this blog is because in March Coby will be going to meet with a therapist here in West Des Moines to see what level he is at and if at all possible to get him into see the up and coming Dr. V
