Words to live by---

These 3 things remain true to the "Journey of Autism". Anyone or everyone can advise you;

ULTIMATELY you MUST go with what you feel is right. "GO WITH YOUR GUT."

Once you have arrived at this decision; "NEVER GIVE UP"!

LASTLY "Ya Gotta do, what Ya Gotta do!"

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

WELL HERE ANOTHER WEEK HAS SLIPPED BY AND I FIND MYSELF ONCE AGAIN IN A NEW PLACE. I HAVE ADDED THE PROPOSAL FOR A POTENTIAL CENTER THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON WITH GIL --HE IS AN EDUCATOR IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND SEEMS TO HAVE ALOT OF THE SAME VISIONS AND IDEAS AS I DO FOR OUR KIDS.

SO MANY ARE FOCUSING ON RESEARCH AND A "CURE" FOR AUTISM WHICH IS GREAT AND WONDEFUL AND BELIEVE ME I WILL THE FIRST IN LINE AND THE FIRST TO CHEER IF EVER WE GET TO THAT POINT BUT IN THE MEANTIME ALL OF US LIVE WITH AUTSM EVERYDAY AND THE REALITY OF THAT IS WE NEED SUPPORT HELP ADVICE AND SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY. HOW MANY KIDS ARE OUT THERE WHO NEED  AND APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT AND THE SCHOOLS JUST CANT GET I RIGHT?HOW AMNY OF US HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO AND DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO??? WELL THERE PLENTY OF PEOPLE WITH MIRCOSCOPES AND STUDIES BUT HOW DOES THAT HELP OUR EVERY DAY LIFE???

I URGE ANY ONE WHO READS THIS AND HAS ANY INTEREST TO PLEASE EMAIL THIS ADDRESS AND PASS IT ON TO ALL WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED>

AS FOR THE REST OF THE PAST WEEK THINGS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SMOOTHER.DAKOTA CONTINUES TO BE VERY INSISTANT ON ROUTINE AND SCHEDULE BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD A DAY WHEN HE DEVIATED FROM HIS DINING SCHEDULE.WE WERE IN SCHOCK AND  DELIGHT. WHEN YOU SEE A SMALL RAY OF LIGHT IT ENCOURAGES YOUR HOPE THAT THINGS CAN CHANGE. I LIVE FOR THOSE MOMENTS. 

HAVING AN ISSUE AT SCHOOL JUST THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKDWHERE DAKOTA IS DUMPING HIS LUNCH WITHOUT EATING IT.WE HAVE STARTED DIALOGUE AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WRITTING A SOCIAL STORY ABOUT LUNCH AND THE CAFETERIA. I WILL WRITE MORE WHN I GET IT FIGURED OUT A LITTLE MORE.

NEED TO GET CRACKIN' ON THIS POTENTIAL CENTER WILL START CONTACTING SOME OF MY OWN LINKS TO ASK QUESTIONS ON HOW TO GET STARTED . I HOPE THAT THE WORD WILL SPREAD   I KNOW THERE IS A NEED. BIG DREAMS
