Hey everyone! It’s been awhile but I finally have my energy back from Covid and my son just went back to school. Speaking of school, I have some exciting news to share. Griffin has been voicing that he wants to try something different with school for next year and possibly go back to a larger school again (his school is roughly 25 kids). My husband and I met with another private school that isn’t for autism or special needs but they can provide assistance. They had Griffin come in for a day to shadow and see how he liked it and if they felt like they could service him there. I was nervous because I do love where we are currently and the new school is mainly neuro typical kids. I think, “what if he loses a game and pitches a fit” or many other scenarios. We were excited when we got the call that they would accept him there and they could provide what he needs! This is huge for us because he will be entering 6th grade in the fall and he wants to be around kids that he can imitate and learn from. I came to the decision that we are in no hurry for him to grow up and finish school by 18 like most kids. I want him to grow up on his time and if he doesn’t do well at the new school then he can always go back to his current school and repeat the grade if necessary. We also left the decision of switching up to him. Once they called us with their decision, we asked Griffin what HE wanted to do. He has confirmed multiple times that he wants to try this so that is what we are going to let him do. TRY! I have a feeling he is going to blow our minds and do something amazing with his life. I’m excited to see what the future holds and would love positive vibes and prayers from everyone for the fall!! Talk to you soon….
