With intervention, awareness, understanding and strategies; We have been travelling ok. And then BAM! The old ASD rears it's ugly head.
A few weeks ago Mr C gave himself a very nasty finger cut while attempting to separate two Lego pieces. As with most wounds of Mr Cs, the band aids did the trick with fixing.
One major issue since has been bathing. When he has a wound, with a band aid, it must not get wet. So dutiful mummy has done her best to wash the hand and fingers around the 3-5 band aids. Once I did manage to remove one soak in "magic healing water" (salty), but only once.
Tonight, I fought to remove the band aids to check the healing. I have been doing this every few days, and it has healed quite nicely. I don't think it will even scar.....
But here comes ASD.
The injury did cause him a lot of pain. And he has since become very reliant on the band aids. I had to physically force and hold him in the bath tonight (and give the hand a good wash...) while he had a melt down. The only comfort was the return of the band aids.
Huge sigh....
How the hell do we get around this one?????
