DAY 14 12/5

Ty awoke on his own at 615am, happy. I have noticed more ear covering beginning yesterday afternoon, and a few brief "tense stim" episodes. Vocal stimming is down a bit, and a major reduction in teeth grinding. Hand flapping seems increased the past few days.

Teacher reported a spontaneous independent pee on potty at school! These are rare, so that is great.

This afternoon while watching a show, the children on TV were counting to 10. Ty held up his hands and began finger counting. Although we have worked on this skill for imitation, the children on TV weren't finger counting, only verbally counting, so that was good referencing on his part! He also worked well with me for hand over hand letter writing. He even initiated a few strokes on his own.

I picked up new tea which we will begin Sunday. Overall, while better joint attention, I feel like stims are all over the place (not so rigid, but still very present).
