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!"

The Holidays --

Well here it is Fall with Winter fast approaching and Dakota reminds me everyday several times a day -- That's Autism--His anxiety really builds during the holidays as it seems that every other week there is another holiday of some type is coming or just around the corner. I know I have preached on this at least one other time but it is a really tough time for our kids. The change in the time and the weather, the decorations, the family gatherings and dinners, shopping and music and what the hell else?????? Everywhere you go ITS DIFFERENT AND EVEN THOSE KIDS WHO UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE CELEBRATION HAVE A HARD TIME WITH BEING OVERLOADED!
And to top it off is it any wonder our kids have the anxiety surge when they walk into a store before Halloween and they already have Christmas decorations?Yep that's right I blame corporate America for some of our kids anxiety--yuk yuk

Well Halloween has passed and Thanksgiving is upon us as well as Veterans Day and LORD knows what December brings-- Oh I ramble on but I will soon post Halloween pictures. Just need to down load them.
Stay tuned for more posts!
