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:-)

We got Hit by a BOMB Storm on Tuesday the 20th 2024

"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I last posted because we lost power on Tuesday, but it has just been restored. We experienced a whirlwind of a storm that hasn't hit the PNW in decades, even making it onto National News weather coverage! I apologize for my absence, but I simply couldn't get online to update you all. For those with power and generators, please take a moment to appreciate the kind neighbors and friends who care about you and have your best interests at heart. Our community's generosity helped us through this tough time, and it has been a blessing to witness how kind people can be. As we approach the giving season of Christmas and Thanksgiving in 2024, please extend your support to those in need of the many things we often take for granted. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season with your loved ones. ~MomAdvoca...

August 2024, new beginnings in transitions to new things and adulting on the spectrum

" As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/   Welcome to August 2024!  If you have been following us all along, thanks for continuing this journey with us and raising our adult autistic son. There have been times when my patience has been tested, and other times, I just want to crawl into bed and/or be able to call my late mom up to talk about parenting. I often listen to my inner voice and gumption to never give up and keep going. This summer of 2024 has definitely been one of those times.  Our autistic son just graduated from high school, and although we have him involved in needed therapies for his sanity(and ours), there are still times that are tough for him, and transitioning is just hard, plain, and simple. Thankfully, we can have our downtimes and uptimes, too, when we can just exhale and breathe. We, at least myself, try to keep up with what going on in our world at this time on the ne...
