If you don't follow me on Twitter, then you might not know that we recently arrived home safely from our trip to Orlando. I'm working on the podcast and will post the full update about our experience then. I'm hoping to have the podcast ready for this weekend and the post shortly after. Anyway, it's been a challenging transition home and I feel tired and a bit frustrated. Elliott and Emmett are definitely overstimulated and taking their good'ol time decompressing. They're at each other's throats and while it's driving me fucking crazy, it's completely expected. The kids spent a great deal of time in the car and that's after all the excitement of the trip itself. There's really no way to avoid a bit of fallout. Gavin on the other…

The boys and I have had an amazing experience and we're making our way back home. I'm exhausted and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and eating something I cook myself. The boys and I with part of the Autism team at DoubleTree. By the time you read this, we should be well on our way back to Ohio. My understanding is that it's at least 50°F colder than Orlando but I don't mind the cold. The kids are probably at their limit right now and really don't want to be in the car any longer. The trip home seems much harder than the trip to Orlando. The hours seems to kinda drag on and the kids are all doing their own thing and I'm sorta alone for…

It's been a exhausting day and we're all spent. We need a good night's sleep before we begin the long trip home. We have a couple more things to do at the hotel before taking off, one of them being the podcast interview. We spent our last night in Florida, volunteering at Give Kids The World. I'll tell you all about that later. For tonight, I just wanted drop a quick update and let you how things are going. Elliott and Emmett would like to move here but I think they're ready to head home. They're getting a bit restless and I'm having a harder time managing them. I'm not opposed to living here and I really like the area. I can work from anywhere, because I work online. While…

So I've been on vacation with my 3 Autistic kids for a few days and I've realized a few things. For starters, my kids are amazing. There's absolutely zero question about that. I love being with them and I wouldn't trade these moments for anything in the world. This is proving to be an experience that we will not soon forget. It's not perfect though and I'm learning about my limitations as a person. Taking 3 kids on a cross country road trip can be challenging in general. Taking 3 Autistic kids on a cross country road trip and doing so alone, is unbelievably challenging. Today was particularly tough for me and I was in a horrible mood for part of it. The problem wasn't really the kids or the…

I'm exhausted and can not keep my eyes open much longer but I wanted to drop a quick update. The boys and I have been traveling across the country on a journey from Ohio to Florida. After about 18 hours of driving and roughly 1,000 miles later, we're in Florida. Everyone is doing okay and I survived the trip with my sanity, mostly intact. I'll be working on some more detailed posts but I only have so much time here and I want to really focus on the experience itself. I'm so tired and I need to get some sleep be auae we have a very busy weekend a head of us. Stay tuned. I'll try to get caught up later today. For now, here's a few images from our…
