An update to this post.
Most of the meeting went pretty well, they all agreed he's very smart, and were focusing on him becoming more independent. Instead of focusing on him using pecs, were moving towards him initiating conversation. Yes the little boy one of his speech therapist gave up on, is becoming so verbal that were hoping he will initiating conversations.
Here he's singing Jingle Bells
The only big problem I had in any of this, was that in order to comfort me, they told me about another kid that reminds them of Caiden. He's now in the 11th grade and only needs a para to walk him to two of his classes. There was exactly no part of me that ever imagined him needing a para to walk him to class when he was 16. I guess it was just a hard reality check, I always figured that hopefully with the right medication, and as he grew older that the elopement would be a rare thing. How to do you even begin to realize that your child will still be walked to class, at the same age I was getting in my first Car accident, dating, i'd been working for 2 years by 16. I know that his future is a different one that I had planned, or dreamed, but its still a rough realization every time that he is different.
Hopefully this is another one of those things, he proves them wrong at.
