"..........I know not everyone will agree with me on this but it's my truth and I simply ask that you respect that.. This wasn't easy to talk about........."
Today was a mishmash of many different things. All the therapies from today were canceled as a result of Emmett's fever. Dr. Pattie is a bit different, and so we made it to that. She's known Emmett since before he was born and understands about the fevers. I suppose the main focus of this post will be on the therapy session with Dr. Pattie. It has occurred to me that in all the years I've been writing, I've never really talked about what happens during on of these therapy sessions. Frankly, we've been going every week since before Elliott or Emmett was born and so it's become just one of those things I rarely think much about because I'm so used to it. When the boys and I arrive, we usually…
Emmett's fever cycles seem to be back with a vengeance.. This is so hard to manage because there's literally nothing I can do and he can't go to school or therapies... Here's what's going on, as well as a brief history of pictured from over the years, documenting the symptoms...

Shortly before dinner, he wiggled it clean out. He was so excited because it was sore and made it hard for him to eat anything. The tooth fairy will be sure to stop by tonight. She'll probably leave his tooth so he can show his Mom this weekend. The tooth fairy's just awesome like that.... ☺
With Autism Awareness month approaching, I wanted to share a collection of Autism related quotes and memes... I created these with the intention of them being shared, so please feel free to do so. The quotes and memes have been very popular over the last year or so but until now have been spread all over the place. I hope this provides you with hope and inspiration to keep plugging away.... ☺
I wanted to provide further insight into the daily life of an Autism family by sharing pictures that I've never shared before. These are taken from a multitude of average days. They range from doctors appointments, school achievements and public outings to simply goofing around at home. What this shows is that Autism families are very much human. In some ways, we're not much different than any other family, and in others ways, couldn't be more different. This is daily life for The Autism Dad household. ☺
