[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 454115"] I also have 4 people with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the same house. We take things much slower than most households. Most of the therapists come to our house instead of us going to them. Just take life one second at a time and remember its ok to put in a movie so you can get a shower, go to the bathroom, ect... I write things down in a behavior journal or a diary because I'm not going to remember everything every one does. Writing also helps me release it so its not eating me up. I homeschool everyone except difficult child 1 because I don't have the energy to fight the schools. Its just easier for me to teach them myself. (difficult child 1's behavior is such that I can't homeschool right now.) I try to enjoy my kids. Yes, difficult child 2 is bouncing off the walls, but he is happy. I choose to enjoy the happiness instead of telling him to calm down. I found as much respite care I could. It gets better as you find what is "normal" for your family. [/QUOTE]
