The boys and I have arrived at speech and OT a little bit early.  Elliott and Gavin are both excited and ready to go. I inquired about Emmett once again and I'm waiting to hear back.  I hope to hear back ASAP because Emmett desperately needs to return to therapy.  What's the point of winning a battle with the insurance company if they don't process the paperwork.  He was approved at the beginning of May and it's now July. This is unacceptable and I will tolerate this no further.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Today is a big day for the Lost and Tired family. Gavin makes his return to occupational and speech therapy.  Elliott will begin occupational therapy for the first time. This should make a big difference in both their lives and hopefully provide an important outlet for the energies as well. I'm a bit concerned about Gavin,  only because of,  well,  all his health issues. He's not only his blood pressure meds right now and I don't know how he will handle this. Elliott on the other hand will likely be very nervous and extremely anxious as well. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy…

Folks, I wanted to notify you of some changes in the privacy policy.. Currently, you have to be a member to even view the forums. This was carried over from the Facebook support forums and isn't really necessary anymore. The reason it was present on the Facebook group was because people are using their real names and not screen names. The Autism Help Forums provide a variety of ways to hide your identity should you want to do so. I find myself in a position where I think that the locked down nature of this forum is actually hurting it and I feel compelled to address this issue. However, at the same time, I want to respect everyone's right to privacy. So here's what I going to do. As of…

We took the boys to the playground for a little while last night.  They needed the time to just play.  However,  Emmett fell and got hurt within the first 5 minutes.  He was quite the little trooper because he didn't want want to go home.  He wanted to play still.  Way to shake that one off Emmett.  He's okay though.  It looks really painful but he seems to be doing just fine with it.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Emmett's favorite song in the world is the Double Rainbow song. If by some fluke you haven't heard it, go to YouTube and a do a search. Emmett is so stinkin cute and is really enjoying himself. I hope this brings a smile to your face as it does to mine. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pf-0eDOIzA[/youtube]

There are so many misconceptions about #Autism that I could write a post everyday for the rest of my life and not be able to address them all. If I'm being honest,  I learn something new,  every single day.  My kids are always teaching me something that I didn't know. #Autism is something that is truly mysterious and challening but can very often lend itself to amazing things. My boys prove this to me time and time again,  especially with their creativity. Today Elliott used this workbook that Lizze had and created this picture for me.  He said it was because of how much he loved me.  I thought that was really nice of him and I was so happy that he thought of me. This was something that out…

Gavin arrived back home a little bit ago and seems to be doing okay.  He tolerated the physical infusion well and so now it's just a matter of making sure he rests and gets back on his feet. As time goes on,  he does seem to be a bit disoriented and lethargic. This could simply be exhaustion from the infusion itself,  or it could be that his blood pressure is low.  We are going to take things really slow and keep him hydrated. The important thing to walk away from this post with is,  so far so good. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android,…

Gavin is on his way to receive his first antibody infusion since his dosage was increased.  We don't know how he's going to handle it. He also will not be able to receive some of the medications that help him to tolerate the infusions. These medications will interfere with the autonomic testing this week. He's also off his blood pressure medications so I don't know what else to expect. To make matters,  Lizze and I are both sick.  My parents were kind enough to take Gavin for his infusion today.  Hopefully,  everything will go well and Gavin will return this afternoon, feeling just fine. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This…
