* I decided to go back to school to get my master's degree in psychology. 

*Our autistic son is entering his final year of high school and will be graduating in the spring of 2024(fingers crossed).

*Our oldest is working hard with a full-time job, is an entrepreneur and goes to college full time. 

*Hubby is an awesome supporter, partner, and overall best friend for all that we have endured throughout out our 25+ years love affair. 

Life is busy and sometimes I don't get to blog as much as I would like to but when I do, it is worth it in the end. I still have lots to say when it comes to being an advocate for our son and it will continue. We have learned that there are not a lot of programs out there, in regard to post high school, but there are jobs that may or may not work. It is a matter of going out there and getting your special needs son or daughter out in the community, so that they can start experiencing what it is like to have responsibilities, like a job, taking public transportation, asking for help and so much more. 

Right now, I have also been trying to digest all of the transition that is taking place in our lives right now, but also embracing how both of my children have grown wiser, matured and also experienced some idea of what life can be like. Transitions are hard and scary, but you just have to take it one day, minute and hour at a time. Eventually it will all work out in the end.

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...
