Well, today has been a day that we never really ever believed we would get to.
Like a lot of children with ASD, food has always been a very complex issue for Arch. He has always had to be reviewed by the hospital, regularly being measured, weighed and having his blood pressure closely monitored. Most visits have been tough, with lots of support but strong advise and tips to keep pushing Arch to eat. Today, he has weighed in at the perfect weight for his height! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! He has managed to gain 11 pounds since his last visit and is now officially average!!!
Archie is hugely insulted by being called average 😉
This amazing change has undoubtedly been a result of Archie moving schools to a specialist setting. He has truly never loved life more and is finally comfortable . He has lots of friends who also have ASD and support staff that just get it!!!
Never give up hope, it took 13 years but we did it!!!
