It’s been a little while since my last post, and life has certainly kept me on my toes, especially as I continue my journey through grad school. The transitions for our youngest neurodivergent adult haven’t always been smooth, but we're making progress! We’ve assembled a fantastic team to support him in achieving his mental health, emotional well-being, and essential adulting milestones. So far, he’s learned how to cook a variety of delicious meals, write his first check, explore local attractions in our neighborhood, and even navigate an Uber ride with a caregiver by his side (of course!). We're gradually working on adding even more milestones and vital adulting skills. It’s been a challenge at times, but it’s all part of helping him become more independent and confident as he navigates the world around him, with the right support in place for the long run. 

May is such a special month for our family! We get to celebrate our wedding anniversary (26 wonderful years!) and three birthdays—my hubby, our daughter, and grandma. We feel so grateful for every single day and are truly blessed beyond measure. We’re thanking God for all the wins and even for the challenges that come with raising a special needs adult child in this ever-changing world. No matter what, we keep advocating and doing everything we can to help. I really hope you all are doing well and finding ways to stick to your budget with these rising prices. We’re definitely trying to get creative with our shopping, especially when it comes to eggs and dairy—LOL! 
On that note, I wish you a fantastic rest of your week and encourage you to stay well!

Opening School During a Pandemic with 3 Different Covid-19 Strains

"As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Is it SAFE for your kids to return to school during a pandemic? My hubby and I asked each other that same question a few days ago when we received an email about our school district's reopening plan. There are so many things at stake: economy, opening of businesses, children's mental and emotional wellness,   parent's sanity and so much more that is happening in our world right now.  To top it all off, there is a pandemic that can kill you and your immediate family ***ARGH!!!***. If you are still on the fence about what to decide, in regards to sending your children back to school, the CDC has a great checklist you can check out and make the best decision for your family.  In our case, our son is autistic as some of you may already know and our concerns will obviously not be the same as your concerns when it comes to having your child return t...

Autism Moms

  When I learned our son had autism it was two weeks after my mother passed away, so not only was I grieving about my mother's passing I was also grieving about what could have been with our son. Fast forward to now. So much has happened since that moment in time and it has not been easy. It has been  hard as hell! But I keep on persisting and advocating and DOING because our children are our life's work poured into them, so that they can live a most productive life. Even more so, if they are a son or daughter with special needs, it gets a little bit more challenging. I don't think about when I will no longer be here on this earth because this is too scary to comprehend, so I only think about the now, the present. Every day is a gift so I celebrate the triumphs, mourn the low points and then pick myself up so I can do it again the next day.  Good Morning:-). By Mom Advocate
