I don't know how to really describe today because it was a rough one. Being an Autism Dad for as long as I have, one would think that I would eventually find things getting easier, rather than harder but on days like today, I'm jot sure that's the case. It was like the Universe was conspiring against me at every turn today. Getting the boys to school proved to be extremely challenging because Emmett misplaced his water shoes, after wearing them to school on Monday for the first time in ages.

Quite honestly, so was I because my nights have been filled with bad dreams and so even when I'm presented with the opportunity to sleep, I can't. Anyway, one of the best ways to help my kids work through emotional or sensory overload, is physical activity. It helps to ground them in a sensory manner, leading to an eventual reprieve in anxiety.
