The dreaded months are here....cold, wind, snow, and Tyler's historic behavior decline. October until about March has always been rough on Ty. From my understanding he is not alone in this. I have even seen suggestions that seasonal depression can be a significant factor with people on the autism spectrum.
Fortunately....and I knock on wood....Tyler has not shown as much of a tendency toward this in his new home.
Could it be because it is new and more stimulating for him...perhaps. Whatever the reason we have seen much less of it.
The bottom line is that he continues to do very well both at home and in his outside environments. We are hoping that another visit is going to be arranged in the near future, as well as making plans for him to see us for a little while at Thanksgiving during the family dinner.
Here is to hoping that all of us as caregivers, and all of those being cared for, have a smooth winter season WITHOUT the blues.
Be well and God bless. Tom
