Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

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.
Im calling 'uncle', I dont want anymore of this weather. The forecast says more of the same, for at least the next 5 days. Next week, I have a meeting almost every day, and I MUST go to them, even if I cant get there (LOL)
Thanks for listening,
