Today has been fabulous for our youngest. No behaviors this morning and now we are waiting at the doctor’s office and he is calmly sitting here waiting his turn. No fidget’s no running around, just watching other people interact with each other (which as I explain later can be kind of creepy). This rocks. Even if this is the only time this year that it happens. Celebrate the good ones. ;). Cherish all of them good or bad. Tweet #fighting4answrs
I didn’t create this video, I am just sharing it here. Having a child with Autism, I could not imagine what their life would be like if they cou;dn’t speak to us. Listen and watch one non-verbal child’s amazing story.

So I spent Friday and Saturday attending the Partners in Policymaking sessions that are being offered in our states capital. It was amazing. We spent Friday afternoon developing vision plans for the next five years. We did this with the help of a wonderful facilitator named Jenn. Allin all, the whole class had a few laughs and learned about structuring vision plans into the form of a tree and its many branches. The leaves of the tree were the steps needed to accomplish the goal (branch). The trunk of the tree represented where we wanted to be in 5 years. I did my vision on our youngest son getting back into public school and getting through Junior High. Want to know what my number one goal is in getting him through 4,5,6,7, and 8th grade? Understanding. Understanding of what a Traumatic Brain Injury is, and exactly what his diagnosis means
