We're back. Did you miss us?

We're baaack!!! It's been a long summer, and the fall has kept us busy. Macen is at school. 4th Grade! WOW! He's doing pretty well. C's and B's for the most part! I drove him to school today and we were talking about "stuff" He mentioned that we hadn't blogged in a long time, so I told him I would do a quick update and he could tell his story later on today.
First off: Macen is growing so quickly. This year he has made some very good friends..which is new to him. He has sleepovers almost every weekend. He is more talkative and outgoing than ever before.
Now, what about his asperger's you might be asking? He has been learning how to work with his strengths. He still struggles with some things, but once he gets it he just takes off. It's an amazing thing to see. He is learning to listen to teachers instead of fighting them. (I have to give them a lot of credit, they are an amazing bunch)
His medication seems to be working. His appetite is increasing. He is more active than before. I believe that he finally understands what he has. He's an incredible young man who will go far if he wants.
