Gavin has been slowly and steadily making a backwards slide back into old habits.  Several times now,  we have caught him lying to us.  He's also trying to put Lizze and I against each other at times as well. Have you ever seen the movie called The Good Son. If you have,  that's what it feels like with Gavin. For those that haven't seen the movie,  basically their is a boy that presents himself one way but is someone else all entirely when no one is looking. You really should watch the movie. I'm not saying Gavin is kind of psycho killer, like the boys in the movie,  but there are still similarities in behavior. I don't know what to think of his actions.  They could be explained away by…

Emmett had therapy this afternoon. He did awesome once again. He is so excited to be back that he can't decide what he wants to do.  He lost a great deal of strength during the 4 month insurance based banishment from the help he so desperately needs.  It's going to be an uphill journey to get back where he was but I know without a doubt that between Emmett's tenacity and the dedicated staff at Concorde Kids,  he'll get there. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Elliott got so upset this morning,  that he gave himself a bloody nose. I don't know how to help the poor kid.  He's just really,  really struggling right now.  As soon as records are received by his pediatrician,  we'll able to start something for his anxiety. Until that time,  it's gonna be a bumpy ride.  I'm going to spend for one on one time with Elliott and try to bring his anxiety down. I have just way to much to do and since Lizze can't drive right now,  this is very challenging. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.…

Elliott created this Lego Submarine and is very,  very proud of it.  He even created an escape sub,  incase they take on water.  :-) I love to see these #Autistic Lego Creations because they give me insight into how his beautiful mind works.  :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Today is one of those days where I need to remind myself that,  I love my kids,  I love my kids,  I love my kids...... They are each in rare form this morning and my sanity has been placed on the endangered species list. Do you ever have one of those,  I love my kids,  I love my kids,  I love my kids....kind of day? **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Elliott is afraid to go to sleep anymore.  For some time now, Elliott has been shaking in his sleep.  The shaking wakes him up and he immediately has the sensation of falling.  This terrifies him and understandably so.  He's been checked out my the neurologist because there was concern that these were actually seizures.  However,  as it turns out,  this is a phenomenon that is relatively common in kids and is usually out grown. Basically,  what happens is that Elliott's little body is purging excess energy. Think of it as a spring being pulled and stretched out. At some point,  the spring can't stretch anymore and there is a release of energy as the spring comes back together. Does that make sense? I don't know of this is more common…

Yesterday,  which at Tuesday night therapy,  Elliott and Emmett put these little guys together.  I cannot for the life of me, remember the name of the game these things come from.  Anyway,  Elliott called his Bumblebee.  Emmett wanted everyone to know that his critters butt is soft and doesn't really sting,  so don't be scared. Too cute.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.
