Melatonin, how I miss thee

Last night was a complete disaster.  Elliott couldn't sleep and so around 10pm he came downstairs and laid down on the couch. Lizze had already gone to bed and so I just decided that the best chance of anyone getting any sleep was to crash on the couch with Elliott. It took about an hour or so but he finally fell asleep. I don't know at what point we were joined by Emmett but I woke up smashed into the back of the couch.  Emmett had woken up at some point and realized that Elliott and I were sleeping on the couch and just had to join us. My back is killing me this morning and Lizze has an 8:30am  appointment. It's going to be a long day today.  I…

Today’s #Autism Victory: Playing Nicely

This morning, Emmett went back to my parents house to hang out with Elliott and my Mom, who were baking. When they arrived home in the afternoon,  the boys have been getting along wonderfully.  They got along for the entire day.  :-) This hasn't happened in awhile and it was really nice to see.  Great job boys.  Daddy is so friggin proud of you.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

The silent servicemen

I wanted to share an experience that Lizze and I had yesterday.  The reason I'm sharing this with you is not to call attention  to what we did, but instead call attention to what we experienced. Yesterday, Lizze and I tried to celebrate a belated Valentines Day.  The boys were at my parents and we had the house to ourselves.  I think any parent can understand the appeal to having a quite house every once in awhile. However, where your an #Autism parent, you appreciate it a whole lot.  Lizze and I had decided to grab some take out as neither one of us had the energy left to cook anything to eat. We ended up at a local Chipotle and found ourselves in a rather long line.  In front…

Manic Monday: Awesome start to the week

Emmett slept in this morning,  so I dint have to get up with him until about 7:30am. He's also in a really good mood and that's awesome.  He and I are watching the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He's happy and that makes me happy. How's your Monday morning going?

Just another day in paradise

Lizze and I were supposed to have the night to ourselves.  We never celebrated Valentines Day and so we thought we would kinda make up for that tonight. Nothing fancy was planned.  We were just going to grab a cheap dinner and then spend the rest of the day watching Community on Hulu. Lizze is really into that show and we were going to get caught up on the last 2 seasons. However, I received a text from my Mother that Emmett wanted to come home. He was really sad and afraid that he would have bad dreams if he spent the night with Elliott at Grandma and Grandpa Gorski's. In true Lost and Tired fashion, our evening took an unexpected turn.  Despite our desire for some alone time, we…

Brotherly Love?

So Emmett decided that he was going to karate kick Elliott into the wall because he wouldn't help Emmett fix his imaginary Web shooters. He kicked Elliott in his stomach,  sending him into the wall.  I'm not sure how he got the bruise si ce the wall is flat but he did.  Elliott's fine and we had a nice little chat with Emmett.  He taking this whole Spiderman thing a bit too seriously. :-( This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

Please share #Autism statistics

I want to start compiling a list of Autism related statistics. I thought it would be cool to have people contribute statistics that they have come across. If you feel so inclined, please post your statistics in the comments below. For example: Autism now affects 1/88 children overall and 1/54 boys.
