Welcome to Monday, the single most hated day of the week. I hope that Monday treats you all well and proves to be a positive and uplifting experience for everyone.  So far so good on my end.  I'll begin my day of making phone calls around 9am, when all the doctors are in.  Good luck to all of you. :-) 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

We learned something new last week. I meant to tell you about this when it happened but never got around to it. While we were at orientation last Tuesday, Gavin shared something with us, that we were previously unaware of.  He's afraid of the steps…

I'm getting more and more worried about Gavin. It seems like he's slipping even more each day. The only way to describe this so it makes sense is to say that he's becoming more and more simple. There's less and less complex thoughts or conversations from him. We know this isn't medication related. We also know that there very likely isn't anything we can do. This appears to part of whatever the ongoing neurological process is that's resulting in regression. I don't know what to do. I don't really even know who to call. We've already been told that we can't fix what's wrong with his brain. We also don't know how bad things are going to get either or even how quickly. It sounds weird but we had kinda…
