Emmett is having a very sensory sensitive day.  We're trying to get out the door to go to my parents house and Emmett can't get his shoes or socks on.  His socks and shoes aren't tight enough.  He will only wear socks when they are really tight.  His shoes have to be equally tight as well or else he won't wear them.  Any of you or your kids have the same struggle?

I'm so incredibly proud of my son Elliott.  He's 7 years old and just ran his 1st official race, with my sister Jenn. They ran for 2 miles and finished in around 35 minutes (I think. I was watching him, not the clock). Elliott has both asthma and Autism and can still do anything he sets his mind to. I can't explain how proud of him I am.  This is the 1st of many races he wants to do. My personal goal is to get myself back in shape and run with him. That would be so amazing. Great job Elliott and Jenn, I'm so proud of you both.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSZIh1nnXKs&feature=youtube_gdata_player This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

My kids are creative in many areas of their lives.  I've shared their artwork and Lego creations.  However,  the creativity of my boys doesn't stop there. This creativity carries over into the way they watch TV.  All I can say is Awesome..........

Gavin spent a good portion of the day working on this picture.  It's his interpretation of some cover art from the new Incredible Hulk cartoon that's coming out.  He was very clear that he was using the techniques he had learned in art class.  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 I've decided that even though, generally speaking, Gavin does not do good with positive reinforcement, I was going to let him play Lego Batman for a little while.  While Gavin's moving at the speed of light, he's not  misbehaving or really doing anything that needs to be addressed. Elliott's out with my sister, Emmett sleeping on the couch and I figured that letting Gavin have some time playing a benign game like Lego Batman on the computer, wouldn't hurt anything.  I let him play for about 30 minutes and then we shut it off and he went back to drawing.  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…

Elliott will be running/walking in a 2 mile race at 8am tomorrow.  He's so excited and has definitely been bitten by the marathon bug. He's going to be running this marathon with my sister Jenn. They went today to pick up their packets and Elliott got his race shirt and bib. We're only gonna be gone for about an hour but I think this is a hugely constructive outlet for him and I'm so glad my sister is doing this with him.  Of course I'll be taking lots of pictures and I promise to share.  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
