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:-)

Happy Spring! Happy Autism Awareness Month!

"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Happy Tuesday to you! It has been a minute. We have been busy with school; both my autistic son, my neurotypical daughter, and I are all remotely doing our studies online, and it can be interesting at times. Sometimes, we see one another in the evening or afternoon, but we always sit down together for dinner, which is a blessing. Mainly just to talk about our days and see how each other is doing, although we are all in the same home we all have different lives and schedules, LOL!  What did you all do for spring break? We had a severe staycation, during which we rested, binged, and relaxed some more. It was such a fun time, and it was sad that it was only 5-7 days, but at least we all were there together. I hope this post finds you all safe, enjoying your families, and creating long-lasting memories.  Until next time, take care of yourself and each other....

Lots of people lost their lives and the normal that most people came to know and love changed forever. Some people, especially educators, were not sure how they were going to educate all of their students in Kindergarten-12th grade, especially those with special needs.  Make back to school easy with schedules, fidgets and sitting wedges from NationalAutismResources....
