Tips for Helping Your Neurodivergent Child Prepare for a New Home
I’m trying to write more often and because I’m struggling with it a bit, I’m taking requests on topics. A very common topic seems to be helping your autistic or neurodivergent child prepare for a major life change, like moving. I hope this helps. :-) Moving to a new house is a big deal for any family, but it can be especially difficult if your child is neurodivergent. However, you may guide your child through this adjustment with less struggle if you plan beforehand, have patience, and are understanding. Here are some helpful hints to help you with this process. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a one size fits all kinda approach that works. This guide is meant as a general direction to go in…

We arrived at the Converge Autism Summit in Greenville South Carolina
Emmett and I made it safely to South Carolina last night. It took us about 9 hours or so of actual driving and it rained most of the way. Emmett handled the ride really well and if having a great time so far. Emmett didn’t want to stand in the rain Virginia, so I stood alone. lol I’m just finished setting everything up and I’m going to head back out and check out the vendors. Emmett’s working in some school work and our day is off to a pretty good start. :-)

Heading back to the Converge Autism Conference this May
I’m returning to the Autism Converge Conference put on by Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health in Greenville, South Carolina the week of Mayth. The purpose is to help promote the conference and speakers, along with a couple of the social media influencers. Last year’s conference I went last year and had a really good time. It was my very first conference and I met some amazing people while I was there.

We sign papers for day services today
Today is a big day for Gavin. Today is the day that we sign papers for him to begin day services. This has been such a long time coming and I’m so glad we’re finally here. As I understand it, Gavin and I will be meeting with his SSA and a representative from the day center. We will talk about Gavin’s needs and create a plan that best meets them. My guess is that he will be attending at least a few days a week but it won’t start for about 30 days. Everything has to be processed and transportation arrangements must be made. It may not take a full 30 days but that’s the current estimate and Gavin’s okay with that because it gives him some time to emotionally…

Emmett baked cupcakes yesterday
Emmett has been back in the kitchen baking up a storm. He baked strawberry swirl cupcakes and topped them with diced licorice. They were delicious. I was able to exercise some self control and only had two. I’m actively avoiding things like this but I also want to sample what my kids take the time to create. I’m really proud of Emmett. Baking seems to come natural to him and he’s really good at it. 😊
