I don't even know what time it is but someone is outside screaming.  It's got Maggie all freaking out and she's gonna wake up the boys. I don't know what the hell is going on out there but I don't want to take any chances so I'm staying inside. Once upon a time,  I would have taken Maggie outside to see what all the noise was about but since the stabbing and drive by shooting I don't do that anymore. It's really sad that fear has to dictate my course of actions,  but it is what it is. As soon as Maggie chills out,  I'm going to try to go back to bed..... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for…

Today's Victory is brought to you by all 3 of my boys. While they spent all friggin afternoon fighting and screaming,  they got along really well while at Dr.  Patti's office tonight. I'll take even the 1 hour of relative peace and quiet.... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Running For Autism Meet Kristen and check out her awesome blog, it's at http://runningforautism.com.

Now that we knew what was wrong, they said, we could find out more about it and get the right services in place. We could get George on the waiting list for this service or that funding. We had a word, a specific condition, to Google. These well-meaning folks, most of whom did not have any first-hand knowledge of special needs parenting, made it sound so easy. All of the answers and help we needed, just a phone call…

Lizze got up this morning to take the boys to school.  Well actually,  she only took Elliott to school.  Anyway,  when she walked around the driver side of the van on loan from the dealership,  she noticed something was wrong. Someone had been messing around with the has tank. The fuel door was open and and the gas cap was removed. When I parked the van last night,  we had about 1/8 of a tank of gas.  This morning,  we had 1/4 of a tank.  Assuming that the fuel fairy isn't involved in this event,  why do we have more fuel now than we did last night? I'm really,  really hoping that the fuel tank hasn't been spiked with anything. Why can't people just respect other people's property? **Thanks for…

Today's Discussion is about education and the special needs children. How many of you have had to have some type homeschooling put into place and why? How did it work out?  Any advice or tips that might help someone new to scenario,  like myself:-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Poor Elliott doesn't feel well. He's snuggled up to me and the puke pan. He's shaking like a leaf..  Poor guy..  :-( **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Emmett has become fascinated with toothpaste.  It appears as though he's finger painting with it.  This morning,  we forgot to put the kids toothpaste up and out of the way. Emmett came downstairs with toothpaste smeared all over his handsome little face. Upon later examining the bathroom,  I found toothpaste smeared on the wall.  Clearly,  we are going to have to pay closer attention to Emmett during the day and not forget to put all that stuff away. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store
