So yeah, that happened

I posted the video below on IG briefly explaining what happened. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxi8qBPRe-N/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== The whole event was pretty awful. Emmett was miserable and on overload from everything that was going on. Long story short, he was so brave and handled himself so well. I couldn’t be prouder of him. Emmett’s okay and managed to avoid surgery. I felt it was best to get him home ASAP, so we left a day early. Emmett and I made a few stops on the way home. Elliott and Gavin…

I know how frustrating the autism parenting journey can be but don’t let that frustration blind you to any of the victories along the way.- Rob Gorski That’s a whole other topic for another day but we’ll get to that. I had to move my schedule around this week in order to drive him to work in the morning. His…
