Sometimes I feel like ADHD is more challenging for me as a parent and here's why.....
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. I couldn't put him in his tennis shoes because we had taken the insoles out and put them into his water shoes.

What I woke up to this morning almost never happens
I talked yesterday about how Emmett was really struggling yesterday, after returning from his Mom's house. 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. I felt my best move would be to get them outside and moving around. It was beautiful out and I figured I take them somewhere and we could walk around and explore. We ended up making our way to a path that the boys have never actually completed before and this time…
