The past two days Gavin has been wanting to spend a great deal more time with his visibly challenged friends.  In fact, it's the first thing he does when he gets up in the morning and the last thing he does before bed.  I'm praying that this is something that will pass because he's completely maxed out on his antipsychotic medication. It's only been a couple of days that I've noticed this trend but the boys have noticed this as well and are asking to join Gavin in his "imaginary" world's.  So far we have been like, no way José, but I have no idea of that's the right thing to do. All we have right now is instinct and our concern is that this would be very confusing for…

I've been engaging back and forth with the Cleveland Clinic this week, in regards to Gavin.  In particular, I was speaking to Dr. Moodley's office about where we go from here.  As much as I was hoping to find some miracle answer to my prayers, I was sadly disappointed. Dr. Moodley has decided to back Gavin down a bit on his medications that manage his autonomic dysfunction.  Apparently, this was the recommendation of his colleague at NYU. I had called Dr. Moodley because I don't know where we are supposed to go anymore. Gavin's continual cognitive regression is terrifying for us to watch.  It's directly impacting his daily life and we need to focus on that to figure out what the hell is going on.  If there's something that we…

Elliott is really into Man vs Wild.  It's on Netflix and he really enjoys learning ways to survive, should he ever find himself in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest, Sahara Dessert or stranded in the Florida Everglades.  While at school, he drew a picture of a scene from Man vs Wild.  It's pretty cool and I find it interesting how closely he paid attention to detail.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

I wanted to share these graded papers that Elliott brought home yesterday. He did really well and while that's not really a surprise, we continue to encourage and congratulate him over a job well done.  This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

It's just after 5am and Elliott and Emmett are already going at it.  It's way, way too early for this and yet both boys are fully awake and bickering. I have absolutely no idea why they are both getting up so early. All I know is that it's already getting old.... I'm so tired... :-( This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

I'm super excited to be able to tell you that all three of the boys had awesome days at school today.  Everyone is enjoying going to school and even Emmett is doing amazing. I think that everyone has finally adjusted to the new schedule, classrooms, teachers and routine.  As a parent, this makes me so proud to see how well they are doing.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Galaxy S4. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me   Setup of an account with Bluehost and I get paid.

This is an exciting update and I'm happy to be sharing it with you.  Take a look at that moving van in the picture below.  This is the house where the vicious dog lives that was responsible for several attacks this summer. I've written several times about these incidents and how dangerous the neighborhood had become with this dog getting lose all the time. The moving van has been there all day loading up their belongings and I expect that before too long, they will be gone.  I hate to say this but I won't be sorry to see them go.  We tried many, many times to get these people to contain their "pet" but they simply didn't care.  Now we have one less thing to worry about when we…
