This is the last batch of pictures from this year's Lost and Tired family Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and if you are going to venture on Black Friday, please be careful and patient.
Elliott had a rough time today. This poor child already has anxiety issues and now he's become paranoid about this tree nut allergy. It's so bad that he refused to eat today. He had a bowl of cereal this morning and that was it. He's so afraid to eat because he doesn't want to accidentally eat something that cause him an anaphylaxis response. The entire time we were there I was sitting in a quiet room with Elliott who didn't want to be around anyone. I don't know how to help him. I keep reassuring him that we are being very careful and that if we tell him he can eat something, than its safe for him to eat. This is my Dad trying to comfort Elliott and get him…
When you see these pictures, can you see what I see?

I can already see how some of this is likely to play out. Elliott will have fun today, only to crash tonight. In my experience, kids on the #Autism spectrum can do okay for a little while but once that threshold is reached, it's all down hill. This is when we tend to see those #Autism or SPD related meltdowns. If an #Autistic child or adult has a meltdown, more likely than not, they are completely overwhelmed and their body needs to purge. Anything can be contributing to this. Lights, sounds, smells, clothes, touch, textures,…
I thought it would be nice to share what I'm thankful for today and invite you all to do the same. I'm thankful for my wife and kids. I would be lost without them. Despite all the challenge and difficulties associated with raising my family, each and everyone of them are absolutely worth it. I'm thankful for my extended family. Without their help, especially with Gavin, I don't know what we would do. I'm thankful for this site and all its grown to be. I hope that it keeps growing and can reach more and more people, so they know they aren't alone. Last but certainly not least, I'm thankful for each and every one of you, my readers and friends. I think that many of us have cone to…
