Elliott is quite insistent that he doesn't want to visit his new classroom. I'm kinda torn on how to handle this because I think he really needs to take this step. If we push him to go, it may very well ruin everyone's day. I'm not looking to push him over the edge either. I'm not sure what we are going to. Sometimes it comes down to a matter of survival and not pushing anyone to the point of freak out. :-\ 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 are very quickly approaching a major milestone in our lives.  For the first time ever, all three boys will be in school, at the same time.  This has never happened before and while I'll miss the boys during the day but I'll also be enjoying the freedom. In about an hour, we are going to be visiting the school son the boys can meet their new teachers.  Elliott and Gavin already know their new teachers but this is Emmett's very first year.  Our house is filled with apprehension, excitement and a little  bit of anxiety. Wish us luck..........

Emmett's really, really into the Ninja Turtle's.  He loves the new series, as does the rest of our family.  He decided to draw his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Can you tell who it is? For some reason, Emmett prefers to draw in pen.  Regardless of what he draws with, he's becoming quite the little artist.  :-) 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

It's been a really long time since I could say that I have honestly felt hopeful. I'm feeling pretty damn hopeful right now. Everyone had a good day and Gavin's IVIG infusion went really well.  Our Internet was restored this morning and I was finally able to finished the project I was working on and got that uploaded.  I heard back this evening and my demo video was a big success. I know that things can change at any second but for the moment, I feel like we're going in the right direction. I've not felt like this in a long time. Everything that I've been working for is going to finally pay off. If everything goes right, not only will I be able to better my family but also…

A US study out this week has found that pregnant women who take drugs to speed up their labor may have a higher risk of bearing children with autism. The study in JAMA Pediatrics is the largest of its kind on the matter, but stops short of stating that…

Gavin did really well at his IVIG Infusion today.  There were no changes made to his dosage and so it was business as usual. Gavin is coping well with the medication as well, meaning no side effects today.  Right now he's back working on his drawings.  :-) 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 are officially online again and back in business.  Now I can finally get back to work.  I need to finish remastering the demo today and get that uploaded.  Today will be a day of catchup and tomorrow will be business as usual. I'm so grateful for how this all worked out.  Hopefully, things will continue to move forward.  Thanks everyone for all your patience and understanding.  I've not been around much since we lost the Internet a week or so ago.  Thanks for sticking with me.  :-) 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

Good morning everyone.  I have a few announcements   before getting into this post.  First of all, our Internet will be installed today.  Actually, I installed it this morning but Time Warner has to come out and turn it on at the pole. This is a huge thing because work is picking up the tab and it's one less thing that I need to worry about.  Victory.  :-) Once this happens, I will be able to keep the blog update as I used to. Next, I wanted to remind you all to simply ignore the people leaving negative feedback.  They're welcome to their opinion and we should respect that.  With that said, I believe I know the identity of at least one of the commenter's and it will never matter what…
