Bye Bye Cheese

This is gonna be a quickie but I had to get it down somewhere.

We are taking casein away again.  This is the protein found in dairy.  It was soooo nice to have it back but behaviors that had been gone are back in the B-man and I am just wondering if they will go away again with no casein.

To document so that I can keep track....
kicking, hitting, spitting, fits, yelling, grunting, throwing, aggression in general. 
I have also noticed more spinning, toe walking and other behaviors that indicate his need to stimulate.  He has been running full force into us at random times as well.  Not wanting to cooperate with his brushing therapy as well.  This of course may have nothing to do with the casein but it is just part of his general attitude issues.

He is still there underneath it all.  That sweet boy that I know and love but lately he has been pushing me to tears again with his aggression.  With me and with his sisters.  He is just not himself. 

I was reading in a book the other day on SPD and was again reminded that it really can factor in to these kiddos behaviors.  While it may be a pain in the ass for me to start cooking without again it is definitely worth a try if it will truly help him.

After this weekend please send small random slices of pizza to me.  Oh and large chunks of Havarti cheese also...mmmm.
