I jst had to add in something today.Faheem has been going through alot of changes particularly this week. There are so many stereotypic actions that he is introducing ...oh God i'm worried and on the edge here.I didn't think that at this point in time his stimming will persist ,but will reduce!!!!!!!!He is getting older..shouldn't his understanding become better????????

For instance,today,i took Faheem to jogger's park...Faheem looked liked he was goin to get a nervous breakdown.He was stimming through the walk.But the odd thing was he was so eager to climd on the slides...ON HIS OWN.That was something to smile about.Although once he climbed up the steps on the slide(on his own) he sat there stimming...i wonder y.Was it the crowd of children that was bothering him,or the fact that i was not beside him...i wonder.I thought after he climbed once that was the end of it.But he wanted to climb again and for 5 more times.'Mau naik lagi' he said.Then i accompanied him up the slide.this i think comforted him.He was clinging on to me real tight but was happy that i was there.After a couple of times on the slide he was ready to make a go on the hilly places that too while clapping and shaking his head from side to side which he has never done.I am glad he was not gritting his teeth though....Capai deh.Pls Allah make this not a regression for Faheem and give me the patience to plod on in the quest to make Faheem understand the world better...more in our way then his.

But the day was not all bad...Faheem has begun to have interest in playing with balls..provided its been played interestingly.I put a large basket down the stairs and gave him balls of all sizes to throw in the basket.His throws were real strong and managed to get quite a few balls in the basket...alhamdullilah.I hope this game though a little silly will help him progress towards something.And he managed to put a few rings in the stick..i had to tell him that its for the antenna of my toy truck ..that did the trick...it was such a tedious job for him ,but he managed.

After i see Faheem the way he is,i feel that i am on a very long roller coaster ride,where i scream and shout once its making a turn upside down.If this how i feel what is my little delicate angel feeling..anguish to the maximum over little things,why is he reacting this way ?always so high strung?I read somewhere tht children do take the traits of the parents...may be he is emotional and high strung like me,but i let it out almost to easily,y can't Faheem?

Faheem is 2.9yrs old...very close to his 3rd birthday.I feel i reached a certain deadline...the end of the golden age for children.Its very important for children like faheem cause that is when u can say is character building time for him.faheem has progressed little through the month.I hv gone to 2 doctors but they hv seem sizable progress in him.OF COURSE THEY HAVE SEEN CHANGES SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN HIM AFTER 6 N 4 MTHS.In this picture he is 2.6 yrs old,with his therapist in Anakku.He is quite friendly with her now.Infact ,alhamdullilah,,Faheem is cooperating with the therapists now.

As for the stimming..it continues to persists.I did the faeces test but i couldn't get much from it.The doc said his fces hasve to be cultured ,only then we can get the right result as to what is causing all his stomach problems.Maybe the two things are connected...lets just c.His emotions too are such a big problem.When he emotional about something he would start his stimming,especially when he is tired or angry..i will try to floortime this as much as possible.

On a happier note,Faheem is learnt to enjoy the company of his uncles,when they tickle him he laughs with glee...and invites them for some more,the only thing left is he lacks the ability to converse due to his minimal vocabulary.I am trying my best to work on it.Nevertheless this shows my son is eager to make friends in his own way...i hope it progresses soon.How i long to see Faheem 'adapting to normalcy' .I have to believe it can happen.
