Autism is not Exact Science

Supporting your autistic child in his/her development is not an exact science. I know there are researched best practices but no one thing works the best for every child. You have to rely on instincts and you don't always get it right. The older Nick gets the more I think I have to take him at his word in regards to what he wants to do on a given day. However, transition anxiety can lead him to say that he doesn't want to do something when in fact he really does. It's not an easy balancing act. Overall it was another great day.

    Aww he remembered the "we love you". So cute! I can see how it'd be difficult to figure out the limit on when to push. As you said and we can see in the vids, he'll say no to a walk or something but then end up enjoying it. But that's why Nicky's with the great family that you are because you're willing to do so much for his happiness and well being🤗

If so, I agree, maybe John should consider becoming a barber!!! How old is John?? At first glance, with Nick's hair that short, he looks just like his dad. You all's landscaping is SO NICE!!! Your place looks like a peaceful sanctuary!! I guess I have always imagined NY SO differently!! But with the sun shining & the beauty of you all's property & also the beauty of the beach....WOW!!! The "picture" of NY in my mind is changing!!! All I ever imagined NY to be is the hustle & bustle of honking cabs clogging up the street, in between skyscraper buildings, noisy & gloomy/cold weather. Never too old to fly a kite!!! I would GLADLY fly a kite & eat Starbursts with you all!!!😉 Sending love from Az.🌵 God bless your week🙌🏼

    Hi Heidi. Johnny did cut next hair. He is a very talented young man. Johnny is 18 and he'll be 19 in September. He has no idea what he wants to do with his future at this point. I just encourage him to keep his mind and his heart open And not to be in a rush. The yard is really coming out nicely. We are only about 45 to 50 minutes away from New York City but I can count on one hand how many times I've been there in the last 10 years. Don't get me wrong the city is beautiful just not for me.
