Also I see kids at brunch! And kids at the mall just walking and holding their parents' hands and kids that can go to the daycare at the gym and walk beside their parents calmly at target and ... you get the point.
I will say post medication I can take my similar sounding kid to the store and for coffee. I took him to a BBQ yesterday and it wasn't horrible!!! It's huge for me. Having these kids is so humbling. It makes you really grateful for progress.
OP here.... Can you take your kid to a story time now? For me, that is the gold standard of what we just can't do at this time, no matter how fun the event sounds in theory.
We have not, but he has let me read him the entire set of the Captain Underapants books and has understood them. Things like story time are hard for him because of the sensory stuff. Too much input. He could sit, that's not the hard part, it would be all the other kids/parents in the room, the noise, what have you.
I will tell you that I have so much more insight into what is up now that he is 5.5 - I can finally tease out the issues, and we have been on this "journey" since he was 2.5.
