Worst School Pick-up ever had a ridiculous ending. Cal really knows how to "game the system." 
Mixing the other Kids' sports with Autistic kids is always interesting, and by interesting we mean DANGEROUS, because you just never know... which is why we have to drive separately to sports. 
Also, Our ABA therapist is getting more involved with Cal's public school program.

Marc tries to find a solution to Cal's biting. He thinks by letting Cal bite his arm, so he can see how it hurts other people, he'll stop. Terrible idea. Also, parents of Autism just need to get out of the house, or go nuts. Our other kids suffer, but how much? We can't do Disney! We tease "HypnoPedia" on the next episode. Could it really work? 

Is Autism Mommy Guilt REAL? Melissa wants to CRY! We wonder if Jenny McCarthy's life (she has an autistic kid) is like ours...

We don't even have a dining room table?! We tried but Cal either tried to sit on it, and jump off or destroy it. Melissa and Marc have stood and ate for several years.... YEARS... :) 

Is our house a Prison? We have gates, and barricades and unreachable locks on all doors... 

Will Cal ever fins his "thing"? His 4 brothers and sisters have sports; what will he do? Making videos (he loves it)... Maybe swimming?

Melissa and Kids weigh in on Cal's new Speech Therapist whom he met today! 

Today, Cal loses his longest running Therapist, Ashley. So, she's coming with the new Speech Therapist at 7:30am. It's sad for Cal bc he's really bonded with Ashley, so this will be a BIG moment for him. A lot of therapy happens at home, so these people get a front row seat at life with 5 kids, especially early in the morning. 

"OK, GO HOME", as you pull out of the driveway?! Also, Strange Foods: Does Gluten and Dairy Free really matter? 

Cal's Speech Therapist is leaving, and this probably won't end well. 

Dangers of Screen Time addiction and Autism. Here's the article we talked about:

So many acronyms: ASD, ESE, IEP, ABA..... 

Melissa had a miscarriage before Cal, and some people think that's a link to Autism. 
Are concussions a part of Autism? Marc says "YES"...
School Nurse really thought Cal would lay down and put ice on his head?? (Doesn't work like that)
Cal's new favorite TV commercial. (We got yo' back!)
