Today started out really well. Elliott didn’t a fantastic job of getting up, dressed and off to school this morning. I showered him with praise because I was and am, so proud of him.
Need a laugh? Check this out.
Yesterday, Gavin and I went to Clearwater to fill up our 5 gallon water jugs. The store actually had to put this sign on the door because so many people couldn’t look at the giant, boarded up hole in the wall and tire marks on the sidewalk and put 2 and 2 together. The guy …

Keep in mind that I live in the city when looking at this picture. I keep seeing this deer in the same spot, almost every night. I’m not sure where this deer actually lives because there isn’t exactly a ton of wooded areas for it to seek refuge in. I’m trying to think of a …

On August 28th, Gavin returns to the Cleveland Clinic for most of the day. In the morning, Gavin will have skin biopsies done. My understanding is that they want tissue samples from various places on his body. Apparently they are able to identify some issues by looking at the nerve cells on a microscopic level. …

View full postSad Realization
I came to a depressing realization today. I was reminded. of just how infantile Gavin is. The reality is that Gavin is a 2 year old in a 10 year olds body. Elliott Richard is more emotionally mature. When you get past Gavin’s physical size/age and look at him for who he is you see …

We have arrived to the Cleveland Clinic and Gavin didn’t get sick. He is however, being difficult and a bit on the uncooperative side. I’m not sure why he’s doing this but he’s never nervous about these appointments, so I’m not sure what’s going on. We are filling out the intake information, well, Lizze is …

Pushing my buttons
My evening was going well……or at least better. Lizze and I were watching Swamp Loggers and I was finally relaxing. Next thing I know, everything in the room went dark. Blue, Emmett’s kitten, was playing behind the TV and has discovered how much fun it is to press the button on the power strip and …

I’ve been better
Just to let everyone know, I’m in a really bad place right now. I don’t have any energy left right now to do much of anything. I think that I’ve reached a point where I have nothing left. I’m really tired and just not coping well with everything. Most of which you all know about, …

Life with Stickers
Who doesn’t love stickers? Stickers are a sign of accomplishment. When we were kids, a sticker on our school work meant a job well done. Emmett is no exception to this sticker loving rule, although he takes it to a bit of an extreme. He loves wearing stickers like there some kind of tattoo. Thankfully, …

A new day is upon us
I had a horrible nights sleep or rather lack of sleep. This whole thing with Elliott still has me pretty torn up. However, I got up to Elliott being just fine this morning. He’s in a really good mood. He got ready and off to school without any significant problems. When I got him to …

The Author
My Name is Rob Gorski and I started this blog in June of 2010 as a means of sharing my family’s real life journey raising 3 boys on the #Autism Spectrum.
It’s important for people to understand what Autism can really be like and the impact it has on the family. We aren’t a TV show and there are no actors. This is our struggle, our journey…and it’s all true.
I am “Lost and Tired” and this is “My Reality #Autism”.
