  Our mission is to help young adults /children on the autism spectrum and their families live more productive, successful lives. Our approach involves intensive work with neuro diverse, at-risk youth and their families with a focus on conscious-parenting, individual outcomes, keeping young people in the community whenever safely possible.

One of those days...

I'm having one of those days...  What do I mean by that?  I have things I need to do.  Important things that I need to do but for the life of me I just can't seem to get it together today.  I have learned not to "beat myself up" when I have these days.  I simply need a "grown up time out."  Perhaps I need some of my beloved Green Tea with Ginseng and honey?  Perhaps I need to lower the lights and listen to some soft music for a while?  I will get it together but I now understand that for now, I need to take care of myself.

We had been looking for a place where we could go to school three days a week and work at home the other two days.   I can only surmise that it had to be a “God thing.”   I had a meeting with an associate that I had worked with in the past.   I almost cancelled the meeting because I was tired.   That would have been a tragedy because I never would have found your new school.   I received the recommendation about the school from the gentlemen I was meeting with.   Did I mention that prayer works? I am so proud and happy about the progress you have...
