Anymore I feel like my ability to function has been reduced to such an extreme that I'm useless to everyone. My life has become so overwhelming that it literally feels like I'm suffocating. While we aren't perfect parents every one of the doctors say we are doing everything right. It can be quiet demoralizing to do everything right but still not be able to help your kids. No matter what we do for Gavin it doesn't seem to make a difference. The amount of things we are facing is so daunting that I don't even know where to begin. I know the 105F + heat right now probably plays a roll in this. We don't have central air so the second floor is literally like walking into a sauna. The…

Lizze just got back a little while ago from her sleep study. She left about 8pm Thursday and got back around 5pm tonight. Gavin was at her parents and I had the other 2. This was the longest either one of us have been on our own with the kids and while it was fun, I'll wait for a while to do this again. Lizze, ironically didn't get any sleep during her sleep study. So far we know she has restless legs but won't know any more until August. There is clearly are reasons we don't split up very often and venture out on our own. Those reasons are 2,4 and 10 years old. I'm on day 2 with literally 2 hours of sleep combined. We all crashed in the…

Please read "Redemption on the way?" by C. Linderman Sr. This was my response on his site: "The big flaw in the anti-vaccine battle is that Autism is on the rise, worldwide. Worldwide also includes third world countries where kids don’t get the vaccines. What about the parents that aren’t getting their kids vaccines and sill develop Autism. Currently whooping cough has reached epidemic status in California due too lack of vaccinations. My oldest experienced regression prior to the MMR. While it is possible that some kids have a reaction to the vaccines it most likely was a catalyst to begin a process already in waiting. We need to move past the in-fighting and push to fund more research." People are dying from diseases that were all but defeated decades ago. I…

I have always said I would be completely honest in what I write here. I feel it's important for people to understand the toll Autism takes on the entire family. This is an honesty post. I'm at my breaking point. Gavin has taken such a toll on this family. The stress of everything he has going on and the behaviors that result is destroying my family. Elliott Richard is so stressed out that he is breaking out in hives. Gavin continues to tell ER things that terrify him. ER continues to have anxiety issues and nightmares as a result. Now, I'll be honest and say I love all my kids but ER is my soft spot. I don't know if it's because he's my first born or because of almost…
