Screw wordpress
WordPress shut my blog down because they say it violates there terms of service. That blog was an exact port of this one. I don’t see the problem….
Bye Bye wordpress
Lost and Tired
Rob (That’s Me)
This is where I share the thoughts and feelings I experience while on the journey through life with our Autistic children. I'm very blunt and honest in this blog. I feel it's important for the world to know how Autism and Aspergers effects the entire family. I think it's important as a father to share my perspective with the world. As the blog title states I find myself "Lost and Tired" quiet often.
I want the fathers out there to know it's okay. I know how you feel. I think the fathers often times suffer in silence because they need to be the strong ones. We are human and our children suffer, it's okay not to be okay.
My goal is to increase Autism awareness by sharing our story. Our journey is not always a pleasant and quiet often depressing and difficult. However, we stick together and pull through as a family.
Please feel free to share your own stories, thoughts,feelings and experiences. Our lives are not easy but we don't have to go through it alone.

Lizze is a "stay at home mom". She is the strongest person I've ever met and I would be lost without her. She suffers from fibromyalgia and daily migraines but never complains about it. No matter how much pain she is in she always puts us first. She got hired as a writer for the Cleveland Examiner tohelp me support our kids. She is a very gifted writer and I'm very proud of her.

Lost and Tired 
Hey Rob, it’s their loss anyway. There’s a lot about wordpress that I don’t get.
I got your msg regarding my last blog. I should clarify that I have several moments where I do lose hope. Its always when Matt destroys something in his rage or hurts me. I get depressed for a good part of the day. I envison the worst, like him killing me. (these things I am not yet ready to post on my blog. Maybe later on)
I often lose hope, then I find it, then I lose it, and find it again. I often find it when Matt has his semi-rare moments of calmness….or when he’s not here. Matthew has the best teacher in the world and its her who is always tells me this:
“When you are in the midsts of all this stress where there is constant worry and chaos, it is very hard to keep the eye on the prize and that is ok. Its very hard to look at any positives because the negative behaviors are so serious. Don’t feel guilty about feeling this loss of hope for Matthew. Those of us on the outside can see a lot of hope because we are not in the daily struggles you are. We have hope for you”
I am always enlightened and inspired when she tells me this. I need other people to remind me of his potential without making me feel guilty because I can’t focus on any positive things about him at the moment. His teacher does that for me, without the guilt. So, don’t feel guilty about losing hope. It doesn’t mean you are giving up. Not even close.
