Posting has been sporadic. My bad. Kids coming and going, getting ready for back-to-school, and a sinus infection has slowed me down a good bit.

I hate being immune-suppressed. You know, when your doc tells you that these drugs are going to help one disease but cause you to get other things, you just look at him like he’s nuts.

Years later, I am finding I really shouldn’t be kissing my day-care bound granddaughter so much. Sigh. Kids are germmy.

And Dude keeps saying, “Mom you are not sick!” I wish I wasn’t sick. I wish I could think clearly.

Suddenly, the Dude’s room can no longer hold him. He’s bored. He goes outside and sits on the porch, talking to himself. A neuro-typical kid would call friends, but, Dude hates the phone.

I need to provide him with more outlets, but, I also have to work. I don’t know how to do both. So, I am going to take his Medwaiver coordinators advice and start interviewing companions for community outreach work.

Having a stranger come in and be with my kid to learn the ropes of being a teenager and developing interests is so foreign to me. But I know that raising a child with autism takes a village.

More on this later.. right now.. sinus pain.
