Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could talk to someone that understands? Someone that get’s it. Personally, I know what that’s like and I decided to do something about it.

I want to encourage everyone to join the My Autism Help Forums.

The My Autism Help Forums are designed by me and run on the industry standard Autism Help 512_512forum software, vBulletin. Because I own, manage and enforce rules in the forums, they are a safe place to speak your mind, vent or ask/answer questions. There is a zero tolerance for bullying or harassing. I want everyone to feel free to share without fear of repercussions from other members.

We don’t always have to agree with each other. I do however, require that you treat everyone with dignity and respect.

 

The forums are readable by anyone but you can only post or comment if you are a member. Membership is free and is a quick and painless process. You do need to verify your registration via email but that’s it.

I recently rebuilt the forums from scratch and reorganized them in a way that’s much more user friendly and accessible.

Right now I’m simply working on getting the conversation started once again.

Stop on by and introduce yourself in the Meet and Greet forum or jump in on a conversation that strikes your interest. There are parents in there right now, looking for advice from you. Believe it or not, you can make a big difference in someone’s life by simply sharing your experience.

Let’s get these forums rocking once again and provide each other with support. Help me rebuild the community and be part of something truly amazing.

I know it’s hard it can be a little scary to open up, especially to people you don’t know. Having said that, I truly believe in my heart, that by taking the plunge, you will find a wealth of information and experience that could benefit your life.

You can find the My Autism Help Forums either by clicking the link at the top of this post or the My Autism Help Forums logo to the right.

If you have any problems with registration, please let me know so I can fix it.

There are 2 easy ways to access the Autism Help Forums via your mobile device.

1) The Autism Help app This is the OFFICIAL My Autism Help app (android only)

2) The TapaTalk app (android and iOS) I only have links for the android app. Check the Apple app store for this app.

For all the latest information on the #Autism Help Forums, follow us on Twitter (@MyAutismHelp).

You may have noticed that the My Autism Help Forums have been down for a few days… This was done for a couple of reasons. The first reason was so that I could move the forums to their own, dedicated site. The second reason was for upgrades and security patches. Autism Help 144_144

From now on, you can find the forums at myautismhelp.com.

I will be updating the My Autism Help app in the Goggle Play Store today as well.

I’ve also made a few changes to the forums themselves, mostly under the hood, in order to increase security. The one that will be the most noticeable is that for now, new members must be approved by either myself or a moderator.

There is simply much computer generated spam and right now, this is the best way to combat it. I realize that this may prove inconvenient for some but it’s better in the long run…..

Please help me spread the word and really get this forum moving.

Get #Autism help or advice while on the go

As many of you know, I launched a support forum earlier this year. There were hundreds of members and tons of interesting conversations going on.

The Autism Help Forums weren’t for Autism related things only. This forum supports the entire special needs community.

Unfortunately, I lost the database and I had to rebuild the forums, from scratch. This means that I am rebuilding the community and need your help. 

However, out of the ashes of what was, has emerged something better.

I have recently relaunched the Autism Help Forums, with updated software and better Facebook integration.

Visit the Autism Help Forums, sign up and and introduce yourself. I realize that it can be tough to start the conversation but we need to break the ice sometime.

However, I’m most excited to announce the release of a brand new, vastly improved Autism Help app. Unfortunately, at the moment, this app is only available on Android.

However, if you’re using an Apple product, look in the app store for “Tapatalk“. You can also visit their site to find out if your device is supported.

These two apps are essentially the same. The difference being that the Autism Help app is customized for the Autism Help Forums and the standard Tapatalk app is not.

Both apps are free.

These apps will allow you to register, use and participate in the forums while on your mobile device. This is great if you have something come up and you need to vent or ask a question.

The Autism Help Forums are not meant to replace professional medical advice. However, sometimes it’s nice to get feedback and advice from people who actually live in the trenches and have been in your shoes.

That’s what the Autism Help Forums are for.  

You can visit the forums by visiting www.lostandtired.com/autismhelp or by clicking the banner below.

 To grab the Autism Help app for Android based devices, please click on the logo below or search the Google Play store for “Autism Help” on your wireless device.

Can a dog have PICA?

I’ll spare you the pictures but Bella has been puking up sticks all morning.  That’s right, sticks.

Bella eats everything she can fit into her mouth.  She has tons of toys and gets plenty of food each day.

I have found Crayola poop outside, on more than one occasion. She loves to eat crayons.

We do our best to keep her from doing this stuff but when she goes outside,  she literally rips branches off of the small trees and bushes.

I’ve no previous experience with Boxers.  Is this normal?

A weekend without stress

Gavin has been gone for only a few hours but the overall stress level in the house is decreased. The boys are more relaxed and went to bed without any problems.

I hate the fact that this is actually the case but it is what it is. 

I plan on making the best of this weekend and at the same time,  trying not to feel guilty…

One of those nights

Last night was one of the most restless nights of sleep I’ve had in quite some time. At some point I ended up on the couch,  probably because of my my back.

Lizze didn’t fare any better as she’s not feeling well.

It’s very likely to be an exceptionally long and trying day. Hopefully, things will turn around and I’ll be proven wrong. 🙂

Three boys and three different meals

This is a typical meal at the Lost and Tired house.  Granted we haven’t put out the fruit, drinks and veggies but you can see that everyone has something different. 

It’s damn near impossible to make one thing that is acceptable to everyone. 

Each of the boys has different sensory needs and those needs impact what types of foods the tolerate.  I can safely say that I no longer enjoy cooking because it has become way to big of an ordeal to please everyone. 

In all fairness though,  please is probably the wrong word.  They have no control over this and I don‘t blame them one bit. 

Having said that,  it doesn’t mean I still don‘t get frustrated.

Again, this picture just has the three different main course meals.  They hadn’t been served everything else yet.  I just wanted to show the three different meals.  🙂
