I love my kids I really do but they are even more difficult to manage when they are sick. Autistic kids go into a sensory tailspin when they are sick. The stuffy/runny noses, coughing, headaches and ear infections can cause sensory overload. Then factor in being home from school and having their schedule turned upside down. They will be home tomorrow again and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. I need them back in school. We need a break. I think God should make it so Autistic kids never get sick and if they do never all at the same time. Posted from WordPress for Android

Lizze has gotten sick. Really it was a matter of time before we were all sick.  I am the only one that hasn't got sick this round. With everything else Lizze has going on getting sick is a pretty big ordeal. It usually hits her alot harder then it does everyone else. I hope this passes quick for her so she can feel better. She also contributed 1.6 miles to the Fit 4 Autism cause. She took Maggie with her which (if you know Maggie) doubles the workout. I'm so proud of her and I hope she keeps it up. Walking is much harder for people with Fibro due to the nature of the disorder. It was probably a very painful walk but she pushed through. Go Lizze Posted from…

At the Doctors with Elliott and Gavin. Posted from WordPress for Android

We consider any situation that requires immediate professional intervention for the safety and wellbeing of any member of our family. This is very common with Gavin because he has extreme behavioral issues. They can appear suddenly or over time. Currently Gavin is in a crisis state because he is losing control over his body movements again. He is also experiencing audio and visual hullucinations. These are all things that point to neurological problems or medication issues. He is also manic right now as well which just makes everything much more complicated. That is what we consider to be a crisis situation. Posted from WordPress for Android

Talk to nurse at Dr. R's office this morning. Now just trying to get an appointment. Gavin will be going to the pediatrician today as well for the cough and congestion. Wejust had our first meltdown in some time this morning. Gavin received the "spin art" type thing the other day and it uses paint. Long story short he snuck it and was using it with Elliott in his room. When we found it paint was everywhere. When we took it away Gavin lost it. He went so far as to bang his head into his window. How he didn't break it is a miracle. When he does those types of things we explain what could have happened. It's important that he knows what would happen. So he faked out…

Elliott Richard has picked up way to many of Gavins behaviors. It's very hard to determine wether these are Elliott issues or learned behaviors. Gavin has VERY FEW "normal" behaviors and so Elliott and Emmett use that as their frame of reference. Gavin is not a role model or a good example. I know that sounds bad but it's simply the truth. Gavin struggles in most every aspect of his life. It's certainly not his fault but it does effect everyone... Posted from WordPress for Android
