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…

I'm really proud of Gavin because not only did he have a great day, he's also been drawing in his sketchbook again.  He spent some time today drawing.  It's been awhile since he's done that.  This is a really positive thing for him.  Not only is he pretty talented, he really enjoys doing this.  During his recent psychotic break, he was so wrapped up in his visibly challenged friends that he let go of many of the things that kept him grounded in reality. Drawing was one of those things and writing is another.  Lizze and I really encourage him to embrace and build upon these talents because perhaps, it's something he can support himself with in the future.  Fantastic job Gavin.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively via…

Today has been super productive.  Although I discovered that I'm locked out of my iPAD because iCloud hasn't backed up or something in two weeks.  I can't even power it off until I plug it in, while connected to wifi. I won't have wifi until later this week.  PITA I got my Skype meeting done and have my Internet almost ready to be installed. Gavin got a shower and we're enjoying the time before we head home and I have to get back to video editing.  Fun fun...... So far, today's been really good.  I'm hoping you are all having a good weekend as well.  :-) 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…
