I have decided to move this conversation into the public forum.  I'm doing so because I want to make sure there is a public record for what I have to say.  At this point,  I don't want to leave any room for further misunderstanding and I want proof of what is going on. Over the past few days this person has been harassing Lizze,  telling her that I'm abusive and that she needs to take the kids and move to a shelter.  These comments were posted to her youtube channel and we're later deleted by the original author. Later, comments were left to some of my videos as well as right here on my blog. I think introductions are in order. You already know who I am so now it's time to shine the…

Today's Victory is brought to you by Gavin.  He made his own lunch this afternoon and did a really good job.  I actually took some really cool pictures of his accomplishment but the pictures never saved to my phone. I think there's something wrong with my phone. :-( Anyway,  Gavin did a great job and this,  while it may seem simple to some,  is actually a victory and one more step towards independence.... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Dear cyberstalker, At this point I'm choosing to protect your identity, and I'm very aware of who you are. I'm going to make this polite and very public request one time and one time only. Cease and desist your harassment of both my wife and myself. Your comments are both ignorant and hurtful. You seem to be on a quest to disrupt my family and I won't stand for it. If you have an issue with anything that I have said or done on this blog, I would encourage you to contact me directly and discuss your concerns. I'm open to anyone's opinions when they are presented in a productive and tactful manner. Thus far you have become an annoyance and your views and or opinions lose any and all credibility.…

I wanted to take a minute and wish all the Mother's on my life,  especially my amazing wife,  a very Happy Mother's Day. It's safe to say that none of us would be here without you...  :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Poor Bella is just having a rough time.  Yesterday she got her foot stuck in her kennel door for God only knows how long.  Then at bedtime,  she just sat at the foot of Emmett’s bed as though she was just waiting for him to appear. She's so sweet...... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

It's like 4am and we just woke up to a huge fight outside. They are trying to kill each other. We called the police like 20 minutes ago and they still haven't arrived.. I don't think these people live here.  There are cars involved and we keep hearing screaming and people being slammed into the cars and not by the police. At least Gavin slept through it and the other boys aren't home. Have I mentioned how much I don't like our neighborhood? On a side note: Happy Mother's Day.  I figured I'm up, I might as well pass that along. :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

I mentioned in a previous post,  that when we got home last night,  we had a little emergency.  At some point while we were gone,  Bella had gotten her foot stuck in her kennel door. Lizze was the first one in the house.  I was talking to our neighbor and unloading the van. Next thing I know,  Gavin comes running out of the house screaming that "Mommy needs help right now". I had no idea what was going on but Gavin was really freaked out and so that made me really nervous.  When I walked in,  I saw Lizze trying to get the kennel door open.  I looked on the floor and saw a puddle of blood. There was also pee and vomit,  all over. Maggie was still in her…

We decided that because we so rarely get time to ourselves,  let alone time with just Gavin,  we would do something special. We decided to take Gavin to get Chinese food,  his absolute favorite. It was Lizze's Mother's day present as well.  Kinda lame but it's the best we can do for right now. Anyway,  it was nice just hanging out with Gavin for a change. He was very well behaved and made two trips to the buffet,  all by himself.  Admitted,  he makes me nervous because he drops things all the time anymore plus he tends not to pay attention to anything around him. However,  he really impressed me tonight and I'm really proud of him. The downside is that he started to have issues on the way out…
