Beth ~ I agree with you! I looked up seeking an IEP for autistic children in GA and it appears that it can be done. I would think that all of the previous documentation would be acceptable enough. My grandson has an IEP due to his ADD and inability to copy from a board onto his paper (don't know the name of that problem).

Karen- Does he attend a Mental Health Mental Retardation center? If so can the local MHMR help?or his Doctors y private Counselors? I’d ask sometimes they know a short cut! Had to use their help a few times for Mom even.

If you haven't done it in writing, make a written request for an IEP and state that you would like a written answer for your lawyer to review. That might be enough to make them think again.8

A day with nothing scheduled that I have to go out for. Trying to finish up Christmas lists. Have Christmas letter written. Need to copy and send out. Will finish decorations in house. Theme for choir party this year is Austrian so I am going to try making Austrian chocolate balls.
Kim - gorgeous tree skirt.
Katla - Hope your trip to Powell's is wonderful.
Karen - sounds like you have gotten some good advice on the IEP.
Everyone take care Sue in WA3 -
Good morning.
I had a relaxing weekend with my mother. Her car is getting some work done, so on Saturday, I took her out to do errands. Then that evening, we went to dinner with my two nieces. One lives in the same town as my mother, but the other was up for a visit -- she was adopted at her birth, so I've actually met her only a handful of times. It was very nice to see her.
My husband and son got home safely. I think they had a wonderful trip. We have one more week of school/work, then on Saturday, the three of us head to Mexico for Christmas. My two older sons are going to spend the week of Christmas with my mom. She has a couple doctor appointments to which she would appreciate having someone else drive. My oldest son has volunteered. He is also going to make Christmas dinner for her. I am sorry to miss that, but I am super thankful to be going to Mexico!
So talking about birthdays last week . . . Everyone in my house forgot mine this year. Lol It's okay. My two oldest children never remember. And my husband and youngest son were out of the country. My mom remembered, a couple high school friends messaged me, and my father-in-law called. And my former boss texted me! So I wasn't completely forgotten. A couple weeks before my birthday, my husband bought me a new electric griddle and joked that it could be my Christmas/birthday present, and they brought me some beautiful glass pieces from the factory they toured. So it's all good.
I guess that's all I've got. Except our cat removes a Christmas decoration from our tree each day, and leaves it under the tree on the tree skirt! Such a nut.

Kim - I think your embroidery is just stunning, some of the prettiest I've seen...
Karen - glad you have good advice--my sis got her Down syndrome son all the way to high school graduation, but it took many, many tears, hair tearing, and cussing out a few functionaries during the years of "mainstreaming" him. Why do systems make it even harder for those who struggle? It never made sense to me, when the ones who need assistance the most seem to get the least.
Chugging along - swapped gears on my work thing and got it done a different way - we'll see how it goes with the alphabet soup gang tomorrow... (CEO, CSO, CFO, CMDO, etc.)
Now to write up three months of reporting that haven't been asked for since September, and are now due on Thursday...
Whee!
Off to the races, my chickens,

Karen, I agree with others. If you have an Autism diagnosis, he should begin with an IEP. I’m pretty sure my grandson started school at 3 with an IEP in place.
I’m reading Good Sugar, Bad Sugar. Have any of you read it? I’m not far enough in to determine if I recommend it.

Bessie managed to chew through her leash enough that it broke this morning when I was walking both dogs alone in the dark. Eventually she got the idea that she could walk beside me and we'd get home safely. I had an old leash to use for the after breakfast walk, but at 10 AM we were at Petco buying a new leash. Barbie 8

Yes, she is my happy place. My fire tablet is chock full of Athena cuteness! Anytime I am feeling down I just look at her!

Looking forward to getting back to normal tomorrow. Exercise. Writing. A run? I love having guests, but, boy, do they take some energy!
I will do some Christmas prep. Hope to make the Chocolate Roulade. I'm going to prep my root veg this year and freeze them. Turning my mind to bread sauce and stuffing. Brandy butter.
Because we are having the family over on Christmas Day I don't want to be spending the whole morning in the kitchen. Want to get most of it prepped. My son is bringing a ham and a stinky cheese.
I'm relieved to have got through these last couple of days without blasting my calories. A holding operation. We stuck to our exercise regime and there was extra walking.

Heather- Agreed Guests are draining even the fun ones!2

That is what I'm hoping for! And perhaps the ability for increased fitness.
Currently I work to breathe especially when I exercise ... it would be delightful to breathe more easily.

Kim: LOVE the tree skirt. Heck with the tree, I'd like to wear it.
Lisa: 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 for the meetings, reports and big grant award.
Pip: Yay for Bootz. Looks like he is one well behaved kitty under that tree.
Big thank you to whoever recommended the book "Atomic Habits" I was able to download the audio version from my library. Just getting into it, but it resonates and reaffirms so much that I already know.
Over the weekend I had a bout of the blues. It was cold, cloudy and the full moon always does a number on me. Today I'm much better. However, there is something funky going on with my left knee. It hurts as though there is something misaligned on the inside of the knee. Will see if my chiro + therapeutic massage will fix it.
Machka: Glad you got answers from your ENT. I'm holding a good thought that a procedure will bring you much relief.
I will be taking my DH in for another ENT opinion this Thursday. Hope to find a way to remove the blockages in each ear canal (aka 'surfers' ear) so he can be fitted for hearing aids.
Finishing my 30 day Gratitude Calendar:
#29 - Friend or family member. All the ladies on this forum. This month marks my 7 year anniversary here. What a profound impact your wisdom and compassion have had on my life. 🌼🌼🌼 It has been a pleasure and privilege to get to know you virtually, and in some cases, in person.
#30 - Skill. Patience
Stay well friends. We can do this.
