artistTy
I'm struggling and need some guidance. My son is having sever SIBs. His forehead is a massive scar and even after all the CT scans and MRI's there's no skelital damage. AMAZING! It seems that overnight he started to hate school. The school principal would not allow him to go to school today so I am home with him and finding myself looking at residential places. I don't know if that is the right thing to do. We started a special diet 2 months ago and learned that he has multiple food allergies. The cost of the diet and supplements and food preperation has consumed my life yet I don't see how we can financially continue yet how can we not if it will provide even a small amount of improvement for my little artist? The emotions are high, the stress has peaked and the mom is beyond exhaustion. Guess i just needed to vent.

About Me
I live for my children! My family and friends are top priority to me. I love my animals...3 horses, 4 dogs, 5 cats....umm.yep that's it...(for now) For fun I enjoy having dinner parties, horseback riding, swimming, boating, hanging out around the campfire with a glass of wine and reading a good book. I become consumed in researching new possibilities that may be positive aides for my son to the point of physical and mental exhaustion. Sometimes I just need to say NO! He's amazing and he motivates me to do everything I can to allow him to be all that he can be.
Simply put, my son. He looks at me with his big beautiful eyes and says, "momma please help me". He tells me he just wants to be a real boy and that he's lonely. He is why I am part of the autism one community.
Dear Shelly,
