    Sleeping and doing therapy with a weighted blanket has made a big difference with my son. Also things to chew on such as chewy tubes are a big help!

    I forgot DS's favorite stuff animals he takes everywhere!

    He has a small "Nemo" I bought him when we went to the mall in our hometown.

    And a lime green turtle that my mom gave DS for Thanksgiving last year.

    Cash. Lots and lots of money to access professionals who don't accept insurance, to replace material items destroyed, to buy into a top notch school district and fill my glass with a decent chardonnay for the journey.


    LOL do you know where I can get some cash? That would be FABULOUS!

    We have 525 to spend through a family support services program, by July 1st. I'm making calls in the morning to see if we can squeeze him in with a private ST, but after July 1st we lose the money, so I'm trying to come up with some good ideas to tell the OT. After July 1st we'll have 1050 for the year. I wish there were some more zeros after that number!

    My three ASD kids have insanely high sensory needs; our basement is a virtual sensory gym.  We have a crash pit that we got free from a member of our support group that was moving and was no longer going to have enough room. We have a swing, a ballpit, a therapy ball, a sit n' spin, a resistance tunnel, and we are getting this steamroller ramp through some grant money.

    Outside we have a big swing set, a climbing dome, a sandbox with white sand that is really smooth and a water table. 

    We spend almost all our grant money on sensory equipment. It is a big must in our house.
