Confessions of a special needs Dad (Honesty Post)

This is a pretty heavy post.  I’m really in a bad place at the moment and I need to vent.  Please be advised that this post is meant as a purge valve of sorts for me and nothing else.

Lizze is basically incapacitated.  It’s not her fault but it’s really making things challenging. Emmett is completely out of control and nothing seems to be helping him to relax.

Gavin, well,  I’m not even going More >

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

 

 

Samsung, is the first of hopefully many tech companies, to step up to the plate and allow me to review their products from the unique perspective of a special needs parent, who just happens to be a hardcore techy. Not only do I understand the tech but also how it can be incorporated into the lives of the special needs family to assist a child with Autism in learning, More >

The Lost and Tired had a rather dull and boring Easter.  Perhaps that sounds bad to some but to a special needs family with 3 boys on the #Autism spectrum,  dull and boring is exactly what we need.

Unfortunately, as dull and boring as it was,  the boys are still overstimulated and bouncing off the walls.

I decided that it would be best to find a constructive outlet for all their energy.  So,  I More >

I haven’t had a confessions post in quite awhile,  so this is a bit overdue.  For those of you new to my blog,  I really try to be as honest as possible,  even if it’s not very pretty or makes me look bad.

I really believe that by being honest, I can help someone out that that maybe feels isolated or alone in the way they feel about something.

I also try to remove the stigma attached to things More >

The purpose of this post is to help educate the public as to what it can feel like to be a special needs parent. Well, what it feels like to me to be a special needs parent. I have tried to put into words what it felt like for me to lose my oldest son to the regressive form of #Autism. I wrote this a while back but I think it’s still very relavent.

My words may not make sense to some of you but More >

Emmett had a relaxing morning.  He was very preoccupied with the fact that we had no PopTarts left.  However, it was a pretty quiet for the most part.

He even laid out on the floor and colored for a little while,  which he never does.

This is definitely The Lighter Side of #Autism. I hope you all have at least the occasional moment of peace and relative tranquility.  I know things are rough at More >

Alright,  we have received clarification as to what the heck is on with Elliott.  Elliott is experiencing some abnormal electrical activity,  however,  they are not seizures.

It was explained to us that kids on the #Autism spectrum are at a higher risk for seizures activity anyway.  However,  in Elliott’s case, the abnormalities are not producing actual seizures.  They also said that he may More >

In some incredible,  bizarre twist of fate,  the doctor met with Lizze just a few minutes ago and told her that it turns out Elliott is not,  I repeat,  NOT having seizures…At least not during this test.

He explained that what was happening was not seizures but instead Elliott’s body expending excess energy. That’s what is likely causing the shaking and tremors as well. 

What I don’t know is More >
