Welcome

This blog is about my struggles with my middle son, whom for purposes of confidentiality; we will refer to as Jitter Bug.

 I have spent the past 3 years dealing with his LD’s and behavioural challenges and there are many, many days when I feel as though I must be the only mother on earth who is going through this. I know I’m not. I know there are many parents out there who think, Man what I wouldn’t give to only have to deal with ADHD, sensory integration issues, social skills deficits, and self regulation challenges. This isn’t sarcasm; I know he could have it worse.

But some days I want to scream and shout at all the professionals who work with him and all the big cats that create this red tape. However these individuals are Jitter Bug’s golden ticket to therapy, behaviour modification programs, assessments and treatment. So I’m going to try to let it all out here and see if I can get some advice, assistance, or just a good old pat on the back along the way. Hopefully some other parents out there will read this and realize they are not alone. Definitely not alone.
