Emmett's fever cycles seem to be back with a vengeance.. This is so hard to manage because there's literally nothing I can do and he can't go to school or therapies... Here's what's going on, as well as a brief history of pictured from over the years, documenting the symptoms...
Emmett came home from school this afternoon and had a really loose tooth. He had shown me before school but he must have been playing with it all day because it was just barely hanging on. Shortly before dinner, he wiggled it clean out. He was so excited because it was sore and made it hard for him to eat anything. The tooth fairy will be sure to stop by tonight. She'll probably leave his tooth so he can show his Mom this weekend. The tooth fairy's just awesome like that.... ☺
With Autism Awareness month approaching, I wanted to share a collection of Autism related quotes and memes... I created these with the intention of them being shared, so please feel free to do so. The quotes and memes have been very popular over the last year or so but until now have been spread all over the place. I hope this provides you with hope and inspiration to keep plugging away.... ☺
I wanted to provide further insight into the daily life of an Autism family by sharing pictures that I've never shared before. These are taken from a multitude of average days. They range from doctors appointments, school achievements and public outings to simply goofing around at home. What this shows is that Autism families are very much human. In some ways, we're not much different than any other family, and in others ways, couldn't be more different. This is daily life for The Autism Dad household. ☺
You always hear about things like occupational and/or physical therapies for kids with Autism but do you know what happens in these therapies? Check out the pictures below and see just how awesome it is.
I'm really trying to normalize our life. It's not easy because there's really nothing normal about our life. LOL Today, I took the kids to the park because I wanted to take advantage of the weather, as well as get them away from their tablets, TV and video games. My goal is not to eliminate these things but instead to find a better balance. Anytime I take my kids out of the house, I run the risk of Autism related behavioral issues and judgment or ridicule from those we come into contact with. I've always felt that the benefits to the kids, far outweighed the risks. My kids are awesome and if someone can't see that, it's their loss, not ours. :) When you're done checking these pictures out be…
