We go back through the emails from our son’s first year in a new high school and relive how quickly “support” turned into constant crises. Then I share the most surprising update I have had in years!

• school fees shock and using McKinney-Vento homeless status while doubled up 
• early attempts at communication through typing and why it feels complicated 
• IEP meeting overload and what caregiver burnout looks like in real time 
• why regular school is not built for many severe autism needs 
• adult autism communication breakthrough 
• small functional wins


please share your stories with me and check me out on my live streams. Leave me hearts and comments and stuff, and let's see how that goes.
