So it's been, more than a while. Alden's foot healed quickly (likely within two weeks) but we made him leave the boot on an extra week because of how hard he is on his toes.
We ordered the sample enzymes from Houston Enzymes and next Wednesday we are planning to give them a try. It would be REALLY awesome if they worked but I'm not banking on it or anything. We got the TriEnza and the No-Fenol if anyone wants specifics. I'm planning to order some breadsticks because those seem to be the "regular" food he misses the most.
Alden has started drawing pictures of himself in various costumes and with certain super hero powers. They are pretty much the coolest thing ever. He's also recently started telling us his address and his birthday which is great. We waited this long because a few years ago (when a typical child would learn these things) he would just randomly start chanting words and phrases he knew over & over. We felt that this could lead to a safety problem but now that he understands speech a lot more and can answer questions we are comfortable with him knowing these things.
I've been sick as a dog this week but tomorrow I am going to an autism conference. I went last year as well, I didn't learn much but it's always good to refresh and meet new people.
