Those moments when you just can’t catch a break

We all have them. It's those moments where we just can't seem to catch a break and the really do suck.

My thoughts

I was really really sick yesterday 

I felt like I was going to die yesterday. I'm pretty sure it was just a bad case of food poisoning...

Schizophrenic Hallucinations: Gavin opens up about his latest mission (video) 

"..........aside from the death threats he's been receiving from Eggman lately and a bit more paranoia than I'm comfortable with, these have been relatively benign."

Elliott / My thoughts

I haven’t talked about this yet because I didn’t want to face it but and I really need to

As a parent, the idea of him facing even more challenges in his life just crushes me.

My kids actually let me take a short nap today

This doesn't happen very often but when it does, I'm eternally grateful to my kids.

It’s easy to push our own needs to the back burner when we’re raising kids with autism, ADHD, or other disabilities. But self-care isn’t selfish. It’s survival. Anxiety is very common in the autism community. Research shows that up to 40% of autistic kids and teens also have an anxiety disorder, compared to about 15% in non-autistic youth. If you’re raising a kid with autism, listen up because this is really important. I know how hard this life can be. I know how challenging this life can be. I’ve been doing this for 25 years. I have three autistic kids and a huge chunk of this has been as a single dad. One of the most important things that I’ve learned along the way is that where we are today does not represent where we are going to be tomorrow. Our kids future is not prewritten and just because we’re struggling with something today does not mean we’re struggling with it down the road.
