The return to school

Elliott returned to school this morning. He wasn’t excited about going but it was time that he returned to school. It will take him a bit to adjust but he’ll be just fine.
Emmett on the other hand, freaked out this morning when his brothers left.. He’s used to them being home and so the change was difficult to for him.
Hopefully, everyone will survive the day and remain healthy. We so need to More >
Lunch in the office

Gavin had a rather rough afternoon today at school. Apparently, at lunch time, Gavin became frustrated because he couldn’t find something he wanted to work on.
There was something about him leaving the lunch line to find it.
When he gave up looking, he had lost his place in line and he had to start over, which lead to a huge meltdown. He ended up having to eat in the office today. More >
From my perspective: 03/21/2012

I thought I would share with you another moment from my perspective. I think it’s cool to be able to show you a moment from my life, through my eyes.
This is what I saw this morning as I dropped my boys off at school. For whatever reason, when I see Elliott walking into the building, he just seems so small. This is one of those images that I carry with me all the time.

#Autism, Anxiety and Risperdal: Day 3
02 months ago
by Lost and Tired

Elliott seems to be experiencing benefits from the Risperdal. He seems a little more relaxed and had a warning free day at school today.
I’m really hoping the trend continues and he experiences more and more relief from his extreme level of anxiety. It’s only been a few days and maybe this change is just a coincidence.
Either way, I’m happy to see the improvement, regardless of the cause… More >
Today’s Victory: 03/15/2012
12 months ago
Today’s Victory is brought to you by Mr. Elliott Richard. It may be possible that the meds are actually working. I hate even saying that outloud because I don’t want to jinx myself.
He came home from school today, changed his clothes and I found his school binder set out on the couch for me to look through.
This has never happened before.
I only heard him whine once today. Knock on wood but More >

Today’s Victory is brought to you by Gavin. On the way home from school, we had to stop off at the grocery store.
Gavin did a great job paying attention to what was going on around him. He also bagged the groceries and did such a fantastic job that an employee commented on how good on a job he had done. That’s my boy….
Great job Gavin, keep up the good work.

Elliott’s already running a fever

It’s only been a few hours since Elliott received his vaccines and he’s already running a fever. It’s not unexpected for this to happen but they did warn us that he may have a reaction because he has in the past.
He’s already missing school because of the fever and hopefully that will be it…
We will be watching him closely tonight and tomorrow.

A return to therapy

Emmett returned to therapy after a fever flare induced absence. Lizze felt well enough to take him today.
When they get back we will have the boys to pick up from school and then grocery shopping.
All I can say is that I hope everyone has a good day so we can all have a good evening. I really can’t take any fighting, screaming, yelling or meltdowns right now.
#Autism and Anxiety: Interfering with life
122 months ago
by Lost and Tired
in Autism
Elliott is so extremely anxious that he is literally an emotional ticking time bomb. He hates school now because, well honestly, I don’t know why. We literally have to carry him, kicking and screaming to the car.
There isn’t anything going on at school that would explain this. I think he literally counts the minutes until he comes home.
I hate that life has become so challenging for him. I More >
