I’m so excited about today

UPDATE: I’m completely exhausted but I kicked ass today

Today has been one of the most exhausting days in a long time. On the other side of the coin, it was also very productive.

Hey massive meltdown, we need to stop meeting like this

Apparently Emmett didn't want anything to do with the pretzels and he went from doing fine to meltdown in a matter of seconds.

It was a really, really rough morning

Maybe these tummy aches are a manifestation of stress or distress? This is very possible because he has very, very limited expressive language skills.

Thank Goodness: Elliott’s feeling better

How many times did he ask about it? How many minutes were there in the day, is how I would answer that question.

Gavin has now missed two IVIG Infusions in a row

This makes me nervous because it's unprecedented for us as Gavin's never missed two infusions in a row.

People often assume that if someone doesn’t express empathy the way they expect—through eye contact, tone, or facial expression—it must not be there. What’s one thing you wish people understood about parenting a neurodivergent child? #parenting #TheAutismDad #autism My autistic son Gavin is 25 now and living independently, but that protective instinct never really goes away. @angelsensefamily helps me support his independence without losing connection. I can check in, see where he is, and even talk to him if he needs help — all without hovering. I wish I had this when he was younger. I’m so grateful we have it now.
