Hello November!
How was your Halloween? Ours was celebrated the week before because that is how we roll, LOL! Although my kiddoes are now a teen and an adult, we still had our candy, watched a scary episode of American Horror Story: Coven  (never again). My oldest loves that stuff but for my autistic teen son and myself it was definitely something that we would not want to experience again. Don't get me wrong, if you are into really dark, true story history then by all means go for it. On a lighter note, we watched the new Minions movie, and it was pretty awesome! 



   
What's in the News....
We are officially, at least here in the PNW, in a tridemic-what the heck!? I am so very tired of all of this and thankful that our family jumped on it as soon as the new vaccines were available. Now we are hearing of the scarcity of available COVID-19 vaccine appointments and that regular flu numbers and RSV in infants has tripled:-(. So very sad and disappointing that our nation and small cities can't get the very necessary resources in order for them to be and feel protected. Wherever you are in this journey with your family, stay safe out there.

We are so very thankful that we are able to continue schooling online and our autistic son continues to grow and progress. No more chasing down teachers (SPED/Gen Ed. Teachers) about how our son is doing. Now we are able to see for ourselves and he is able to work at his own pace. No cookie cutter curriculums here. Our decision to do this for our autistic teen is priceless and we are not looking back, just forward. 
Wherever you are in your journey of schooling your children take note in the options around you and don't be scared to do what you feel is right and helps your child.

Take Care:-)

Monthly Blog Posts for Autism and Life Experiences

"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year 2025! It has been a minute as we transition to a new year. How are you all doing? We are adjusting how we shop because prices are not getting smaller but more prominent. This also depends on where and how you shop. So, as a family, we have started doing much more bulk shopping and focusing on the products we buy the most and eat in large quantities.  It is breakfast, dinner, and snacks for us, LOL! How about you?  Things will be changing a bit on here as well because depending on what is going on in our lives, especially my own as an autistic parent, sometimes it can get a bit dicey at times, and I may draw a blank, which is rare for me or power goes out, which is what happened last time because of our cyclone bomb storm in the PNW. Keep your eyes peeled for some great monthly content about my life experiences, season...

Opening School During a Pandemic with 3 Different Covid-19 Strains

"As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Is it SAFE for your kids to return to school during a pandemic? My hubby and I asked each other that same question a few days ago when we received an email about our school district's reopening plan. There are so many things at stake: economy, opening of businesses, children's mental and emotional wellness,   parent's sanity and so much more that is happening in our world right now.  To top it all off, there is a pandemic that can kill you and your immediate family ***ARGH!!!***. If you are still on the fence about what to decide, in regards to sending your children back to school, the CDC has a great checklist you can check out and make the best decision for your family.  In our case, our son is autistic as some of you may already know and our concerns will obviously not be the same as your concerns when it comes to having your child return t...
