NOTES:
Sachin had just woken up when I arrived, his mother showered him and assisted getting him dressed. Once his shower was done he had dinner. Sachin had fried rice, he ate up quick like a starving kid, he appeared to really like it. With dinner out of the way Sachin was encouraged to use the toilet, he didnt go. I then assisted Sachin brush his teeth and together we made cups of tea. We entered the programs room for puzzle time, so far sachin has been behaved, his attention, dexterity and attitude all excellent but his BPM has been concerning. Sitting at 95 + bpms and at times nudging 103, Sachin should have a bpm like this if he he doing physical activities like walking fast but he’s been doing nothing. I’ve encouraged a calming environment of quiet, soothing music, lavender for him to smell, dim lights and NO energetic behaviour from me that might excite him or stimulate him.
After approximately 40 minutes in the programs room Sachin settled down a bit and his bpm went down slightly, mid to low 90’s.
Sachins bpm stayed in this range until 7:30 pm when we settled on the couch. At 730 Sachin had a toilet break, large output. At 8pm Sachin and I made cups of tea and put a few recyclable things into the recycling bin. Sachin was content on the couch watching X files and snacking on corn chips, his bpm dropped into 75 to 85 bpm range
 
Shift ceased at 2130 hours.
