About Us

Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

I.E.P. Rescheduled

Categories: News, Porter, Autism — J @ 5:06 pm

Porter’s IEP has been rescheduled for November 17th, a week later. The message the county left alluded to the previous date as being tentative, which makes me suspicious. They gave us every indication when we set the date that it was a final date and said nothing whatsoever about it being “tentative” whatever that really means. If I sound pissed, I am a bit since it feels like they’re not being honest with us about such an insignificant thing like scheduling. I hope this isn’t foreshadowing problems to come, especially since things seemed to be proceeding smoothly. Of course, it could simply be I want to get the ball rolling so badly and start Porter’s new schooling that even a week’s delay is making me cranky.

Say Cheese

Categories: Photos, Porter — J @ 5:02 pm

On our second day at the park this week we ran out of bread, so Porter tried to feed the ducks his cheese. They didn’t seem to like it, however. Oh, well. It’s the thought that counts.

Apparently ducks don’t like cheese.
