I thought this was cute.  We had some left over fruit snacks from our trip to the Zoo yesterday. After lunch I told the boys that they could each have one package.  Emmett opened his up and before eating them, lined them up in a straight line.  How many of you see this at home, with your child on the Autism spectrum?

I've been talking about feeding issues when it comes to my boys with Autism....  My question for you all is pretty simple.  Do you have a go to food for your picky eaters?  You know, something that you can pull out when all else fails.

People say that things always get worse before they get better. I really hope they're right.  I mean, I don't know who said that, so I don't know if they know what they're talking about.  Having said that, for the sake of being hopeful, I'm going to assume they are right.  That being the case, things should definitely be getting better soon.  They've got to get better. They just have to. I've been working on something for two years and it's about to pay off.  However, until then, things are pretty friggin bad.  I still can't get anyone from the gas company to explain why we were shut off.  All I'm being told is that it shouldn't have happened. A supervisor is supposed to be calling me but they haven't…

It's been a little while since I've last updated you as to the status of our current status.  First let me thank you all for the out pouring if support.  It's quite humbling to know that so many if you care.  Thank you. As for our current status..... We've not had any contact with Child Protective Services is well over a week.  The last phone call I received had us in a pretty good spot. At this point, I don't think they believe the allegations that we don't take our kids to the doctors. However, they are still waiting to here back from the Cleveland Clinic and Akron Children's Hospital. I'm told that if those come back without any concern, the case will be closed. When the hell knows how…

As we were leaving the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo this evening, we ran into someone really special.  Emmett was hitching a ride in the stroller and who should we stumble across? Wolverine..... Emmett was sooooo excited and he was giving Wolverine high fives.  Elliott and Gavin on the other hand were kinda freaked out and wanted nothing to do with him.  I love this picture and I'm so stoked that the boys had a good time.  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 was really stressful for me at first.  I let a few things get to me that I really shouldn't have. Lizze and I were at odds for awhile and that's never a good thing.  Unfortunately, I'm only human and I have bad days from time time to time. Lizze and I worked through it and are fine now.  The truth is that sometimes life gets the better of us and we can bump heads.  However, we always work through it and come out stronger on the other side.  We are far from perfect and quite capable of making mistakes.  We just do our best to learn from our mistakes and never go to bed angry.  This post had began as The Friday Report and turned into more of a…

This whole Zoo thing has turned into a friggin ball of stress.  Last minute changes have potentially complicated things and I'm frustrated.  We are supposed to be focusing on the boys and now we're trying to make new arrangements.  Agggghh....................... To make things worse, it creates tension between Lizze and I that we don't need.  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
