Well, I'll be doing a ton of paperwork again. I'm still a little worried about Gabby. She is pretty happy but she's had some outbursts with me. She's been getting ticked and not trying to act right. She got mad and tossed a chair, putting a hole in my nice rubbermaid pantry. And it wasn't a med thing because she calmed right down when we pointed out the hole and started backpedaling. Last year at the end of the year, they told me Gabby was sad and upset about her weight. Here I try to make her get on the scales when she wants meal five and six. She has been gaining weight slowly but surely. Now there is nothing wrong with her metabolism, she just has a huge apatite and part is genetic and part is meds. Anyway, Gabby tells me she doesn't give a rats ass how she looks. I asked if she really was upset or just trying to get out of her work at school. She has autism and moments of complete truth, yep that's what she was doing! GRRRR! The school thinks she's an at risk child and at home she's mostly HAPPY! She said it was sad not having friends and its stressful being around people at school so she doesn't feel as well there. She's autistic too and there is no med to fix it. I want people(teachers) to know she does have a happy side too! I keep wishing it would be a med problem we could fix but its behavioral.
