Hello, Spring and Summer 2024!

We have been so busy this month that I have been unable to post on my blog, which is rare. But our youngest will graduate high school soon and earn his high school diploma. We are so thankful that he has blossomed into this young man and that the world is ahead of him. This is not the end of his journey. We are lining up many resources for him before he embarks on a job, community engagement, and college. 

There are still those in-between nuances that have to be addressed, like social skills, job coaching, shopping, laundry, mental health counseling, and so much more. 

 For those of you just checking my blog out for the first time, I post here monthly about what has been going on with us and our family and the challenges we may face when raising a special needs child/teen/and soon-to-be young adult. It has been a world, but we strive to be on top of it and advocate. 

What Did You Miss: 


International Workers Day


Cinco De Mayo



Graduation 2024

I hope you have a fabulous rest of your week and enjoy the sunshine. It is almost summer, so make sure you get outside and get some Vitamin D and fresh air. Until next time, take care of yourself, your family, and your sanity. You deserve it!

A Tale of Two Types of Learning in the Midst of a Pandemic/ COVID-19 ..

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.com Some school districts did not know what to do and were faced with how they were going to educate students online and address the needs of those that struggled already academically, emotionally, financially

November 2023 Winter

" As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/  Hello Everyone,  Can you believe that we are already in November? My oldest is in her 3rd year of college and chose to do her studies remotely and loves it. As you already know, our youngest is autistic and he is in his final year of high school. Lots to think about and do in this final push and the journey still continues.  We are anticipating just relaxing this 3-day weekend, so that we have time to refresh, take naps and whatever else is in store. So far, we have had a bunch of rain that just keeps on coming here in the PNW, but it did finally stop today with more in the forecast, LOL! If you are trying to figure out what movies are out to watch this holiday season, we can think of a few that are our family's favorites during the holidays.  Hope you have a safe 3-day Veteran's Day weekend!

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.
