The answer should be yes. Not "how can I get my loved one help?"

alls quiet on the western front

Things are good today. I am exhausted for some reason probably related to my Lupus and fibro.  But otherwise things are good.  David is behaving himself quite nicely, and playing one of his spelling games.  I challenge him to create 4 letter words instead of three letter words.  So far he is exceeding my expectations.

If you have a child with an Autism Spectrum Diagnosis, and are in need of support, let me know. I can hook you up with an online support group.  It isn’t a magical cure, but it has definitely helped me.

Also, you should check out my friends Rob and Liz Gorski.  Rob’s blog Lost and Tired is phenomenal.  Always a good read.

In a little while David and I are going on our second outing of the week.  Hopefully it goes well.

Giving Hearts Day – Happy Valentines Day

As we celebrate this heart day with our loved ones, we need to remember that there are others who are less fortunate than ourselves.

I am on the board of directors for an organization that assists families who need hope.  The organization is called Family Voices of North Dakota.  Would you consider giving 5, 10, 20 dollars or more to this wonderful organization?  Donations will be matched up to $4,000.

>1 year — a look back

>It has been a year since I started this blog and its corresponding facebook group. So much has happened.

Little did I know that M’s initial attack on his teacher would develop into 2 further attacks, 3 hospitalizations, probation, and a placement in a residential facility.  As a result we are exploring our legal options against the school district.  We are still holding M accountable for his actions, but feel that the school district should be held accountable for theirs as well.

The past year has seen major health challenges for me, as well as a redefinition of what it is to be a man, at least for me.  I am still struggling to come to terms with the things I have lost, and am learning to further embrace the things I hold dear to my heart.

Friends close to our hearts have been uprooted due to flooding in their communities, and we thank our blessings that we are not affected in the same manner.

As I close this, I find myself excited about the challenges that lay ahead and reminiscent of the past.  I thank the people in the facebook group for their support of both me and each other. I find it amazing that we can bring together people of diverse backgrounds to discuss a common issue.  I have heard from people across the United States about the impact of my blog, and even from someone in Singapore.

Thank you friends.
