We have had many missed days of school in the last 3 weeks, due to weather. We have had snow, ice, freezing rain, frigid temps....
My son's behavior has really regressed.He can understand, up to a point, with social stories and lots of reenforcment, but still, he has times when his simple desire to go to school, outweighs his 'trying' to understand that there is no school. Our whole routine is so out of whack, including sleep and his therapies outside of school.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
