Anything Goes 1 year, 3 months agoThose are great ideas, Julia. I don’t know what else to add, I am struggling in the same areas myself. D is having a difficult time with his own differences right now. It is so heartbreaking, isn’t it?

Chrisa, thank you for your additional resource. I wish there were resources like that for a particular family that I am aware of from another internet site. It’s so heartbreaking that there are not enough services […]

I’m so proud of him being able to advocate that way. I see a bit more of this in D, but nowhere near what I would like to see. I hold hope and faith that D will get there in every post I read from you. Thank you […]

Yep, I understand that. I think I’d feel the same way in your shoes. These kids are hard … that’s all there is to it, they are just plain hard. Hard to understand, hard to do for, hard to know what they need and […]

Wow, Julia, I didn’t realize he put that much thought into this. I agree with Chrisa, he planned much more than D ever has. D gets mad and runs out the door, but hides in the van, goes to sit in the storage […]

I’m right there with you, Julia. Right now … Yes, I’m grateful that D is home. I’m not grateful that this week we are having intense flashbacks of pre-RTC times. No, they aren’t *quite* as bad, but yeah they’re […]

This is so heartbreaking and I’m so sorry your sweet girls are having to deal with this. My son does have high functioning autism and has a hard time making friends, a harder time maintaining the friendships. I […]

IEP and School Discussion: 1 year, 6 months agoOh Jen, I am so sorry. I could have written this same post. We are dealing with a very similar issue and D’s anxiety is so intense that he is just not going to school. It is horrible.
