I feel very strongly that Autism does not equal a free pass for my kids. When my kids do something wrong, it's my belief that they should be held accountable for actions. 

That being said, this does give me hope that maybe Gavin's future is a little brighter than I sometimes think. As a father, it's so nice to see my kids helping each other. It really was an amazing thing to witness. :-)

I give my family, absolutely everything I have but I know that they need so much more than I'm currently capable of. I feel like if I was a stronger person, maybe I could give them a little more.

There was a lot that happened today and I thought I would do something different and share everything that occurred in a collage of picture.

In my non-educator but highly educated opinion, I would think that what he does or doesn't do on his homework would be a good indicator of where he is in the classroom.

I know this is off topic a bit but I was thinking about this today and wanted to share my little thought bubble.  :-) This site is managed almost exclusively from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Please forgive any typos as auto-correct HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

Elliott’s school is amazing but let it be said, I will always stand up for my boys, even if it means going toe to toe with the people I admire and respect. My kids will always come first.
