Duncan has been much more stable lately,
We finally sleep regularly.
He seems healthy and not volatile.
He won't wipe himself and since we had to deal with dingleberries, he refuses to be wiped
His skin is clearing; my God it was pretty bad!
One thing that I like alot is how he now, will take action for himself in response to a question or to communicate.
Like in the kitchen, he will put away what he doesn't want, which more and more becomes him doing for himself under supervision.
I have not been good about homework, but the last couple of days we got back on track.
He passed a sight exam, which last year they were not even able to administer.
He weighed 111 3/4 last year and was 111 1/2 this year. His BMI is on the lower end of normal.
He is a 1/2 inch taller than last year, at 68"
This week JJ, Duncan and I pulled into a grocery store parking lot. We opened the van door and there was Duncan standing in the parking lot with one brown and one black women's kitten heeled shoes, with his white athletic socks still on ---- and ----- as typical, for him ------ no glimmer of humor, no change of expression, just a standing there waiting for us to go into the store.
Also, attacked new packages of markers yesterday. Gave him one of his own and he scribbled all over himself and his belongings and then chewed it apart and threw it on the ground next to his bed, with the spilled fritos, the dumped legos, and flung blankets.
He stole a tray from the kitchen - used once - and took it to his room. Quietly, he bent it, worked off one handle and peed in it.
Last night, Malcolm watched a show in my room with me. We were on my bed. Duncan was on his, but eventually came over, laid in the opposite direction, rolled up next to me and fell asleep.
