Hey everyone.. I am excited to say that Alex has been doing VERY well in school this year. As this year wraps up there are still a lot of unknowns as to what hurdles we'll be jumping next year. My amazing Alex is reading like a champ and although stubborn sometimes he is always about to express love. I'll take that everyday and twice on Sundays. Just last week I received a permission slip for Nick to play football this upcoming year. He is VERY excited to play. I asked Alex if he wanted to play and he said,"NO". I know he's waiting for baseball and soccer. :-)
I really didn't pursue the Special Olympics issue this year. Since Alex has had his new insoles, (he has one leg longer than the other) he has gained so much more confidence and been running with excitement and confidence. I've decided to just see where that leads us. I apologize for taking so long. On a personal note.. I'm doing a lot better as of late. Depression still sucks. I've had some pretty monumental moments lately that has helped to pull me from my internal dispair.
Thanks for reading.
Hello Jason my name is Wade. I inadvertantly set a blog with the exact same name as yours www.avoiceformyson.com. I didn't know about yours until trying to find mine on google. I'm not trying to steal your thunder, in fact i would really like to try and promote your blog along with mine. Like you i am raising a boy with autism. It's heartbreaking in a way only parents that have been through it can understand, but i wouldn't give it up for anything. My blog is focused on reforming Child Protective Services policies for investigating suspected abuse of disabled children. Utah DCFS mishandled a the investigation of a teacher that I suspect abused my son because they didn't consider training caseworkers to interview disabled children a priority. I have been persistent enough that they consider it a priority now. Post a comment to my blog, i can get your email from that without posting it publicly and I will write you back.
