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!

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...
