getting out the door for school is a daily battle

Image
 "Mornings can be tough for any kid, but for my autism son, getting out the door for school is a daily battle. The transition from home to school can be overwhelming, and the simplest tasks become monumental challenges. I've tried everything to make mornings smoother, from visual schedules to gentle reminders, but some days it feels like we're fighting a losing battle. I'd love to hear from you - what were your school mornings like? Did you struggle to get out the door, or was it a breeze? And for my fellow autism parents, what strategies have worked for you? Let's share our experiences and support each other in making mornings a little easier for our kids." #autismacceptance #autismmom #autismdad #fanpage #exploremore #fypã‚·

Today marked a major milestone

"Today marked a major milestone for my neurodiversity son and me - his first ride on the school bus! I was a mix of emotions as I watched him climb those big steps and find his seat, but his excitement and confidence were contagious. As the bus pulled away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. This small step towards independence was a big deal for both of us, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to watch him grow and thrive. The unknown can be daunting, but with each new experience, I'm reminded that he's capable of so much more than I ever thought possible."

"Today was a truly special day as I spent quality time with my amazing autism son! We had a wonderful time together steaming our faces and enjoying each other's company. The simple act of steaming our faces turned into a fun and relaxing experience, filled with giggles and tender moments. As we sat together, feeling the warm mist on our skin, I was reminded of the beauty of connection and the joy that comes from sharing everyday moments with loved ones. It was a heartwarming experience that I will always treasure, and a great reminder to slow down and appreciate the little things in life."

Embracing the Middle School Journey: Reflections on the First Week

As I step into this new chapter of the middle school journey, I can’t help but feel a wave of emotions. Whether you’re a new teacher, a parent with a child entering middle school, or someone like me who is pressing the reset button for the year, the first week of middle school is an experience full of excitement, anxiety, and endless possibilities. The Anticipation and Excitement There’s something magical about the start of a new school year. The air is thick with anticipation, not just for Brad but for everyone involved. The first day is filled with nervous energy as I watch Brad navigate new hallways, meet his new teachers, and try to find his footing in this new environment. As a parent, I find myself sharing in this excitement. There’s a sense of renewal, a fresh start where anything is possible. The Challenges and Growth The first week of middle school is also a time of adjustment. It’s a transition period where students, especially those new to middle school, like my son we have

First day back to school

  Today marked a significant milestone -my neurodiversity son's first day back to school! I'm thrilled to report that he came home beaming with pride, telling me he had a great day, which was corroborated by his teachers. Despite the chaotic pick-up and drop-off lines, we survived the first day with all the necessary paperwork completed. Now, we're ready to tackle day number two with confidence and enthusiasm. Seeing my son navigate new challenges and thrive in his own unique way fills my heart with joy and gratitude. Here's to a successful and fulfilling school year ahead! The honest musings of my middle schooler! My son's singular concern: "Why does school take forever to get out?!" I couldn't help but chuckle at his candidness. I explained that middle school days typically run longer than his previous elementary school schedule, which was the root of his frustration. His response? A nod of understanding, followed by a relieved smile. It's moment

August is here which means that the first day of school is right around the corner. It’s going to be here before we know it! Whether your child attends preschool or regular school, it doesn’t matter: we all want to find great quality, stylish, and budget-friendly clothes when we shop.  go to school now. Brad goes to school in 3 days still trying to fine therapy so for right now I remain his full time therapy which is sometimes is very hard  but I need to remain strong.This year, I got his new school outfits at d ifferent store .  "Back to school shopping just got a whole lot easier! This year, I let my neurodiversity son take the reins and pick out his own outfit. Not only did it make the experience more enjoyable for him, but it also allowed him to express his own unique style and preferences. By giving him autonomy and agency, we avoided meltdowns and created a sense of pride and ownership. Try it out and see the difference it can make for your own child! #AutismAcceptance #Back

What I learned as a mom Blogger & influencer

  Couple years ago, I decided to finally step outside my comfort zone and take blogging seriously. Until then my blog was just a hobby. Which I began  to build my voice and platform around my son in the beginning that diagnosed with autism. I only had a handful of readerly my friends Acquaintance and growing an online community is nearly impossible. As I navigate the journey of motherhood, blogging, and influencing, I've discovered invaluable lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today.

Most importantly, I've discovered that my voice matters, my story is worth sharing, and my influence can inspire positive change. Through the ups and downs, I'm grateful for the o
