Thanks for sharing this. Stomach problems are common among kids on the autism spectrum. I really hadn't connected that to their meltdowns, but makes sense.

It is such a privilege to be able to work with these kids.

Yesterday, I did an impromptu experiment to demonstrate photosynthesis, placing a leaf in water and then watching for oxygen bubbles. All the kids had magnifying glasses and could see the bubbles. I got hugs from all of them for it. Was not expecting that. I love these kids.

When they have a good day, it makes up for the bad days.
