Another bad evening below the threshold... but this time the reasons are obvious, two school inaugurations I needed to attend and take notes and my mother in law has a serious surgery at the same time. And surprise, my Aspie girl has a new teacher, no one knew her teacher was going to leave. I worry how they get together... but try not to panic in case everything goes well.

The surgery seems to have gone okay - or at least they didn't damage her seriously.
Take it easy. I need to take it easy.

Quote:
The energy accounting method

The energy accounting method works by sitting down with the person with autism and creating a long list of things that sap energy from them (withdrawals) and replenish energy in them (deposits). A numerical value is then added to each withdrawal or deposit to give it a weighting.

The idea is that when a withdrawal is made, or numerous withdrawals are made, deposits have to be made too in order to prevent the account running into the negatives, which can trigger a meltdown.

Thanks, the previous link didn't load :)

It's just a systematic way of counting spoons. If only there was someone or an app to do it for me ;)
