It's not Diggy Diggy mommy, it's Minecraft.

I last posted in September. So let's catch up. Way back when (feels like a year or more already) little 'A' was pulled out of school for poor transitional skills. We are still unsure what happened, our investigation was short-lived and unsupported by the school, hence why we simply brought him home and have continued our skill-building here. He hasn't gone back. We are in discussions with the school board in regards to re-integration for both of my boys, yes I said both. We decided to pull 'D' out for poor adaptability and signs of regression. The start to Christmas break was a momentous time for me, in January, after failing to get cooperation from the school in regards to our minimal requests of constant communication, we signed the papers for the school board, and he's been detoxing since then.

Many days went by, I cried tears of frustration, sadness, bitterness at the world, and some of joy. Ironically, all because I couldn't bare seeing my children go through that alone themselves. I spent countless hours googling every curricula known to modern man, as well as many approaches to connecting autism and society, some weird and wacky, others more traditional and dated, and everything in between. Over the past few days I find myself exactly where I started when I was considering enrolling them in school for the first time.

Our homeschooling adventure begins here.
