Gavin / Inspirational Posts / My thoughts

My teen with #Autism was frisked by police today and here’s what happened

"I was thinking to myself, OMG please let Gavin be okay with this because sometimes he can be unpredictable when it comes to being touched."

Gavin / General Update / My thoughts

I’m heartbroken because Gavin’s really beginning to struggle again :'(

"I can't adequately express how much this kills me. As his father, it's so hard to know that he's going through this and there's very little I can do to about it"

Feeding Problems / My thoughts / Sensory

Anything related to food is so stressful for my #Autism family 

"A picky eater will eat when they're hungry enough. An Autism and sensory kid will literally starve themselves if a food isn't sensory friendly"

Elliott / My thoughts

I’m so overwhelmed by these newer behavioral problems 

We've discussed the behavioral issues and how it's presenting at least similarly to ODD though

Elliott / My thoughts

We’re dealing with oppositional defiance again and it sucks

"For those who've dealt with this kind of thing, you know how exhausting this is"

My thoughts

It’s days like today where hopelessness creeps in

"I'm on overload and I feel like total shit because my hands are tied in so many areas. It's such an unbelievably helpless feeling and I'm not able to fight it off right now"

Today is the day that RFK Junior and Donald Trump are supposed to announce the cause of autism. And from what we can glean at this point, it’s gonna be blamed on Tylenol during pregnancy in a couple of things. I know a lot of you have a lot of feelings about what they’re doing and I just want to remind you that it’s gonna be OK. I’m frustrated and angry and everything else myself but we got to stick together. Push back when we need to push back and we’ll figure everything out. You guys are amazing. Your kids are lucky to have you and we’ll talk soon. It’s very clear that many people feel unseen, dismissed, or ignored in the #autism community. I think we need to have some very honest discussions about how we can address this because we need to make changes. Everyone should feel seen, heard, supported, valued, and included. You are not a failure. Raising a child with autism, ADHD, or any disability comes with challenges, but being a good parent isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, loving unconditionally, and doing your best. Mistakes don’t define you, and neither do the things beyond your control. Your kids know they’re loved, and that’s what matters most. You’re doing an amazing job, even on the hard days. Remember that. 💙
