Good evening, me lovelies. Just popped in to say hello. I am exhausted. Hubby has a sprained knee and it is extremely painful. We had 7 doctors appointments last week, including everyone. Our apple tree fell in a storm and we are paying a man to cut it completely down.

I was able to get a few things for the kiddos. So I would not wait until the last minute.I've been reading posts from Moms who have children on the Spectrum who have severe conditions that seem to go right along with their Autism. These children can be helped, but unfortunately our system in this country disagrees with how to treat them. Some children are so disabled that it requires almost super human effort to make any progress. Each child is different, so it is impossible to tell, at first glance, what can be done for them.

It makes me wonder about what supports I had as a small child that enabled me to excel academically. My home was pretty quiet, and I had plenty of attention. I played outdoors and had friends in the neighborhood. I had friends at church and felt loved and cared for there.

Not everyone on the Spectrum had the good fortune of having good health. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. Some have issues that must be addressed now if they are to happily live in this world. I want to learn all I can so that in some small way I can be an instrument of change.
Love and light

@mamacita Wow you had a busy week ,time to pull up a cup of tea take your shoes of and relax next week take it off . Hopw your hubby gets better rest and ice it . That's all the Dr. told me when I fractured my back this year. I feel sorry for those kids that the medical system is letting down . Sounds like you had a good childhood. God was and is watching over you . Take care

So good to hear from you, @mamacita. You have a lovely way of putting life into perspective. Thank you for being in our midst in spite of a long, long week!
