PICA Problems…..
We are struggling with PICA again with Gavin. Not sure if we are struggling again or we have just become aware of it again. Are there ways of discouraging it? Should we down play it? Or should we crack the whip so to speak?

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. Check out her articles by clicking on her picture. Let's get her some traffic :)
