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…

I'm pleased to share that the boys have gotten off to school without a problem.  The school lunch is our only hiccup at this time.  Elliott and Emmett will not eat what is being served today and we are currently out of sandwich bags.  We assured the boys that we will get bags and drop their lunches off to them later this morning. This is an otherwise good start to the day.

As we begin the second week of school today, we also begin a busy week. After I get the boys to school today, I have to continue working on arrangements to get Gavin out to John's Hopkins ASAP. Tuesday morning, I will be taking Gavin to Akron Children's Hospital for September's IVIG Infusion. Tuesday also brings with it the return of OT for Elliott, followed closely by OT, PT and Speech for Emmett and Gavin both..hopefully anyway. Lizze has 2 appointments as well. With any luck, the week will be kind and everything will go off without a hitch. The biggest concern I have for this week is how Gavin will react to the IVIG Infusion since his most recent crisis. With his number having recently changed, we haven't had…

Let me start by saying that I'm very grateful for everyone's concern.  I think that it says a lot about our community when other wise strangers, can relate enough to someone's life that they show compassion, worry and understanding. Having said that, there are a few things that I need to clarify because there seems to be some confusion. This likely is a result of me being uncomfortable discussing this subject for fear that it will come across wrong to my readers. I've said many times that I only share the financial struggles because without that knowledge, it's hard to put some of what you read here into proper context. I also believe that by sharing things like this, it helps to raise awareness about one of the struggles involved…
