While we were running around on Tuesday afternoon, Emmett and I had an interesting conversation.  He has informed me that he will  only longer ride in the car until I fix the cracks in the windshield. I explained that we didn't have the money to replace the windshield at the moment and it wasn't something that he should be worried about. His suggestion to me was that I should take a hammer and bust the windshield out completely. Then I'll have no choice but to fix it.. I love his logic.

I'm kinda at a loss as to what today was like.  The report from the teachers doesn't really make much sense and to be honest, I can barely read it.  Gavin says that he got frustrated while at school but didn't really elaborate to much. He's smart enough to know that the less we know, the better off he is.  Regardless, it's looks to be a largely positive day for Gavin.  I believe that he was tired in morning but nothing too bad. No chest pain or catastrophic meltdowns or tantrums.   I'm very comfortable calling this a winning day for Gavin, once again. Great job Gavin.  Keep it up, schools almost over and you'll have the whole summer off.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of…

So Gavin came home from school today, super excited to show us a picture he drew for Dr.Patti, while at school today. This will probably come as a shocker but its a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog. Anyway, he's really proud of it and its nice to see him doing something constructive. I wish he would do more drawing and writing. Nice job Gavin, I'm sure Dr. Patti will love it. :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Here's my plan with this post.  Not only do I think this would be an interesting conversation but I can be an educational one as well.  It would be really cool to share our individual experiences with food proclivities and our kids on the Autism Spectrum. Maybe your kids do just fine, maybe not.  I think that it could be beneficial to see how the other half lives. If your on the Autism Spectrum yourself, I would love some insight.  We can start by simply answering the following question as honestly as possible.  Does your food touch?

The original plan was that Lizze was going to rest until it was time for her appointment and then drive herself.  Emmett's not tolerating the car very well anymore and this would have helped to avoid the meltdown that would very likely ensue as a result. Unfortunately, Lizze is in absolutely no position to to even consider getting behind the wheel of our car. As I'm writing this, Emmett is freaking out and I'm very aware of how the rest of the trip is going to go. :-( Thankfully I got one of these (picture below) in the mail on the way out the door and I'm able to get Emmett something to eat....... for free.  :-) Now we're just sitting here waiting for Lizze to come out of her…

After a fitful nights sleep, Tuesday has gotten off to a pretty good start.  Emmett's in a good mood and most importantly, the boys got off to school on a good foot. Whenever the boys get up, ready and off to school without a problem, it's considered a good start to the day. Now I have to get Emmett to my parents and Lizze to her first appointment today. We've already killed our gas budget for the month, so we're on an 8th of a tank we got to make that last until Thursday. Obviously, this will be quite a challenge but sometimes a challenge can be fun.......right? This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Okay,  so here's how this works.  I'll show you a picture and you tell me what the victory is. This will test your knowledge of Autism and Sensory Processing issues.  It's also a great way to see just how you know about the Lost and Tired Family.  Buckle up. Look at the picture and tell me what you see. This is Emmett's dinner plate that he put together himself.
