No change with Henry on Ritalin.  Phoned for the Paediatrician, who phoned me back.  Dr Dede advised me to increase Henry’s dose to TWO tablets in the morning and one at lunchtime ... let’s see how this goes ...

Gave two tablets this morning and 1/2 lunchtime.  Henry has been the grumpiest, volatile and tempestuous little boy today ... throwing tantrums and stomping his feet when he doesn’t get his own way. It was remarked on by his classmate’s mum at lunchtime today. Managing this boy’s behaviour is hard work; in the meantime, Lewis had his autism Diagnosis Assessment yesterday .... why will Medicare refund most of Paed appointments, and not Autism Assessments? Surely, people are not going to subject their child to a unnecessary assessment on a capricious whim ...

$300 for a Paed appointment x 2 .....
$210 for an Autism Assessment .... plus no job in the house = disaster.

Thank God I do start a new job next week .... no guarantee of financial security, but at least it is something ...
