What do you want most for your child with #Autism?

As parents, we always want what's best for our kids.  When you are a special needs Parent, and you child is autistic, things aren't always that cut and dry. We hear alot of people talking about success or independence, in regards to our children's future, but what does that even mean? When it comes down  to it, what do you want most for your child's future? I've given this a great deal of thought over the years, especially in regards to Gavin.  I know in my heart that Elliott and Emmett will do well as they get older. Gavin in the other hand,  faces challenges that few other people face, especially at such a young age.  Between Gavin's fragile health and complex and sometimes scary mental health, Gavin’s future is…

What is your purpose?

What is you purpose? Sounds like a weird question, doesn't it? However,  when you break it down, it's actually a pretty good question. I've always felt like everyone in this world has a calling, something they were put here to do. I'm asking what you were put here to do? I've thought about this myself, many times over the years, especially when life took yet another unexpected turn. When I was younger, I thought I had everything all figured out.  My late grandmother always said that I was meant for something truly profound.  My teachers used to say that they expected to read about me in the news papers or hear about me on the news. I always felt sorta pressured by that notion because it felt like unless I…

Animals and #Autism

This morning, I dozed off on the couch and at some point was apparently joined by Bella.  She can definitely be annoying at times but she really is the sweetest puppy in the world.  I can see why Emmett has bonded so intensely with her.  :-) Animals can have such an amazing impact on the life of an Autistic child.

#Autistic Works of Art: Finger Painting pt2

This is Emmett's 2nd finger painting masterpiece.  To be completely honest, I'm not sure what this one is, as he never really wxplaimwd it to me.  However, I'm not only impressed by the artwork itself but also the fact that he stuck hos fingers in the paint in the first place. I'm not sure how sensory friendly finger painting actually is.  Regardless, you can color me impressed.

The Friday morning tummy ache

Elliott's home from school today with a tummy ache.  Apparently, the flu is going around the school.  Hopefully, he will feel better as the day goes on.  The last thing we need is a stomach bug going through the house.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

Today’s Victory: Good Choices

Today's Victory is being awarded to both Elliott and Emmett.  I had to run to my parents and Lizze was home with the boys.  This doesn't happen very often because Lizze usually isn't feeling well enough to watch them.  This afternoon, she was able to watch them long enough for me to run a couple errands.  When I got home, she reported that the boys did amazingly well.  They listened and got along the whole time.  I'm so proud of them and grateful for their awesome choices today.  Great work boys.  Mommy and Daddy are sooooo proud of you.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.
