Happy Sunday from our family to yours! We like to be loud and messy and have a lot of fun when we do things.
PS. This is the most excited Brad has ever been about cooking Egg. It’s funny how having a child with needs has taught me about priorities. I don’t care if he eats what we prepare for dinner. I just want him with our family. I want him smiling and laughing. I want him happy. It took him years to get here and watching him experience the world is such a gift. Also, the brad is very busy.
Happy Sunday from our family to yours!
Don’t post a lot about my husband Jr. Today I want to talk about him because he is my rock.
He is very much involved in everything we do for our kids.
All of the decisions we make are equal.
He went to all the doctor appointments and he’s a big supporter for me
The day Bad was diagnosed, Jr was at the appointment with me.
We knew the diagnosis was coming and we were able to talk to each other our way home.
When we got home we immediately discussed autism and trying to fine doctors. He knew I wasn’t able to talk about it without crying.
We got all the information we needed to get Brad on the waitlist. Because we all know they can be long!
We have found our groove after 8 years of being parents.
Without him I’m not sure we would be where we are in this journey. I’m not sure I would have had the strength to jump in so fast.
We got Brad started in school after his diagnosis and that is all because of the team me and my husband .
Every time I was upset or sad I had him to lean on and we talked everything out. On the days that I feel like this is too much he stepped up and took the lead.
I think dads don’t get enough credit sometimes, they are the glue that holds us together.
My husband is my glue, my rock, my everything. The love I have for Jr
When a child has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, doctors typically prescribe stimulant medications that increase the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. While these medications effectively help ADHD, these drugs can also cause unwanted side effects.
If your health care provider has prescribed ADHD medications for your child, reviewing these side effects can help you develop coping strategies and understand when to seek medical help for complications.
Good sleep can also make a difference in the quantity and quality. For example, try one or more of the following:
With extended-release medications, an early dose before school or work often means a loss of appetite at lunchtime. When you first start taking these drugs, try to eat whenever you feel hungry and have snacks available for your child when he or she does feel the urge to eat. Try serving a healthy, hearty breakfast before the morning dose. However, it can be beneficial to inquire with your doctor about all options for your child, such as immediate release medication.
It is important to notify your doctor if you notice any severe weight loss or change in appetite with your child.
kids commonly have headaches, sometimes with nausea, when they start taking ADHD medication. Usually, this side effect subsides in a few weeks. In a meantime, try taking each dose with food. Your doctor may also recommend an alternate schedule for taking the medication.
While most mood changes associated with ADHD drugs are subtle, some people may become aggressive, angry, manic, anxious or emotionally unresponsive. Kids may become cranky or irritable as the medication dose wears off. Doctors call this the rebound effect and it's important that you notify your doctor if this is occuring in case they decide to change the dose of the medication.
If you have bothersome symptoms after you begin taking a prescription medication for ADHD, your doctor may adjust the dosage or specific prescription. Try keeping a record of the side effects experienced by your child so you can follow up with your healthcare provider. In addition to the above, other common side effects of ADHD prescription medications may include muscle tics, dizziness, stomach aches, dry mouth and nervousness.
If you are in need of support but want to explore other options before trying prescriptions medications, look into ADHD products with no harmful side effects.

Why is Autism awareness important?
There are many reasons, but to for me it’s very important.
I am the mom to a eight-year-old little boy who happens to be autism ADHD.
Before my son, I had no idea what autism was. Sure… I had heard of it, here and there, but I couldn’t tell you what it meant. I wouldn’t have seen the signs.
When my son’s autism was discovered, everything suddenly changed.
I began to researched everything I could.
The truth is you can read a lot about autism on the internet. You will find charts and studies and articles from doctors. The thing is…those aren’t the things that I used to understand autism.
I read stories. Ask a lot of question. But my 8 years old though me a lot into our journey with autism, while I am no expert, now I understand why it is so important for the world to understand autism.
Happy Friday word for the day. Bless Those Who See Life Through A Different Window - And Those Who Understand Their View. Even for parents of children that are not on the spectrum, there is no such thing as a normal child.”To measure the success of our kids , we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are be blessed
