Emmett wanted to share with all of you what he got for his birthday this year. He was so excited to have gotten this game for his 3DS. He loves Batman and all of the previous Lego’s.  Lego Batman 2 was the perfect gift. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

One of the most challenging things more me as a parent to an #Autistic almost teenager, is personal hygiene.  Gavin simply has not concept of self care type things.  I'm trying to help him become a little more self-aware.  I think that I'm actually going to make up some signs that will help him remember a few of the basics. You might be wondering what I mean by personal hygiene? Basically,  I'm referring to things like wiping food,  drink or toothpaste off his face instead of walking out the door to school without cleaning his face. I'm working on helping him recognize things like his nails needing trimmed or his clothes need changed because they're dirty. I have tried to make up little quizzes to aide in the process of…

This afternoon was one of those times where I was able to help him to find some peace.  I snuggled under the big comfy comforter on the couch with him for a little bit.  We didn't sleep for long but he dozed off for a few minutes and that's better than nothing. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help…

I grabbed this picture of the Burger King sign on my way to the farmers market.  I love signs that a flawed and thought this one was pretty funny. The sign reads: Original Chicken $104 Fri Sat Sun. Punctuation is very important when writing and even more so to the person reading. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Elliott's latest and greatest Lego Creation is featured in the photo below. It's a turtle and he is very proud of it. There is something about Elliott and animals because he loves to build small animals out of Lego’s. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.
