So I got Gavin safely home and immediately left to get Emmett and Elliott from school, so I could drop Emmett off at home and take Elliott to occupational therapy. It was supposed to be a simple process but it turned into any but....... When I got to the school, Elliott (who I thought would be excited to go to OT) was refusing to leave.  I get Elliott into the car and Emmett freaks out because he want to go to occupational therapy as well and simply won't go home.  I had told the boys that Grandma might be picking them up from school and taking  Elliott to school and Emmett home.  They were both upset because I was picking them up and not Grandma.  :-\ Unfortunately, I had to…

Elliott has OT this afternoon, for the first time since school let out.  He's excited but Emmett is upset because he still isn't able to return. That's something I want to address today, as well.  This will require me to likely battle with insurance once again and persuade them that Emmett is worth the investment.  Gavin’s in the very same boat as Emmett. His insurance just dropped coverage of Speech, OT and PT. That needs to be resolved as we.  For now, Elliott will have his weekly outlet back and that's a start.

Gavin and I have made it to Akron Children's Hospital this morning. We didn't have much problem getting here as traffic was pretty cooperative.  :-) Gavin's moving really slow today and admittedly, I'm not in a good place today, so I'm finding this really frustrating. He's not using his words very well today and is instead making noises or giving me looks to try and get me to do something.  When he does speak,  it's subtle manipulation.  For example: after his IVIG Infusion began, he wanted a pillow to put his arm on but instead of simply asking for a pillow, he simply complained about his arm hurting so the nurse would rush in and attend to his needs. Umm...... That's not how we do things Mr. Gavin.  We use…

Last night was one of those nights that just didn't provide any rest.  I feel like crap today and  my outlook is following suite. This is going to be a really long day and I have way to much that I have to try and accomplish. Frustrated and overwhelmed. :-( This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

Today is going to be crazy busy.  I have to get two of the three boys to school in the morning and then get Gavin to Akron Children's Hospital  before 9am. I had to make arrangements to get Elliott to OT in the afternoon, because I don't know if I'll be back from Gavin's IVIG Infusion in time to take him. Before dinner, we have to also get the boys to Dr. Pattie's office for Tuesday Therapy. I can't wait until the day is over.

Once again, I want to share another Autism related fact. Yes, I know Aspergers technically no longer exists.  However, how many people still refer to the Aspergers diagnosis? That's rhetorical. :-) These little Autism quotes are meant to help spread Autism Awareness for both the person with Autism and their parents and family.  All too often, people equate Aspergers or high functioning Autism, with newer challenges.  That's not always the case.  This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

I picked up the boys from school and was happy to hear that everyone had a good day.  This year, the school is using a point system for behavioral problems.  Elliott and Gavin, each Lost one point today.  Gavin got frustrated in math class but Elliott was unable to remember why he lost a point. Emmett maintained all his points and was more than happy to shoot that to anyone that was willing to listen.  :-) Elliott was grumpy and refused to be in the picture.  :-( This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

I wanted to share an auction I've listed on eBay to help with getting out hest turned back on before it gets cold out. This auction is for a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I bought this with a Best Buy gift card, with the intention to stick if right up on eBay and sell it for cash.  I figured this was easier than trying to sell the gift card itself. Anyway, this is Samsung's latest and greatest tablet.  It sports an HD screen that measures 8 in diagonally. This is a wifi only device and requires no carrier contract. This is an s-pen device and would be amazing for anyone needing a tablet. Check it out here: Auction This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please…
