As we become a more automated world,  many things are changing. Technology is growing faster than most people can keep up with it. For today's discussion,  I thought it would be interesting to compare how we all leverage technology to help our kids with #Autism to better learn or simply communicate with their world.

I wanted to thank you for your thoughts and prayers during Gavin's latest hospital stay. I also wanted to update all of you as to how he is doing since being released. So far, do good. He's responding to the BP meds positively thus far.  He still falls asleep after eating but it could always be worse. We follow up with his pediatrician today,  and figure out what's next.. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

This is my favorite moment from the past few days. I truly appreciate the times where Emmett is at peace.

Apparently, our neighbors house was broken into last night. That's really nice and makes me feel really safe. My parents just stopped by to bring Gavin and Elliott home after hanging out with them for the day. As we were standing on the front porch talking for a few minutes,  there was 3 gunshots.

However,  raising a child with #Autism can be rewarding as well.  I'm trying to not lose sight of the positives, despite those positives being outnumbered. With that in mind,  I want to ask this question.  Despite all the challenges of raising a child with #Autism,  what is your fondest memory?

We finally got our rental car, or rather.....van.  At least they gave us a van this time.  It's a Grand Caravan. It's actually really nice but I'll be happier when we get our van back next week. I'm grateful that Downtown Ford stepped up and loaned us a van.  Thank you Downtown Ford. :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store
