@Greg Eigsti he loves spicy food! He gets mad if I say no actually but then sits there with his tongue out “airing it out”, drinks and goes in for more. Thanks, she has a lot of other complications as well which keep her from being as active as she would like which in turn effects how much it...

@Greg Eigsti thanks for the kind words on my wife. I will probably start a thread on that as well. I would like to make her as comfortable as possible (so she comes with) and then there is her colostomy ... :( That will be for another thread though.

Hangry is Ayden’s middle name. The kid can eat snacks all day and stolen hangry if he don’t eat @ lunch and @ dinner. Does you kid love spicy food? One day he wanted to try buffalo wings I was having on day. He took all of them! So now I make him boneless ones all the time. I am actually...

I should probably clarify my last statement, “my son waits for no one...”. We actually don’t ever really bring up either when out in public unless it is directly effecting him and/or her. @Autism Family Travels i have to check out your blog. Lately due to the Coronavirus I have been more of...

@Greg Eigsti and @Autism Family Travels yes I have quickly learned that playing the Autism gets the point across. When it doesn’t, my wife jumps in and drops the “I have stage 4 cancer” card ... My son waits for no one at that point.

I know the app your talking about. We are working through a peg system now, getting him familiar with pictures of things as a means of communication. Once we progress from that, we will be going to the app. Front Loops, Turkey bacon, Ellio’s pizza, burnt hot dogs are his major food groups...

Thanks for the advice. My son is high functional as well except that he is non-verbal. A lot of what you suggested is what I will need to do as well. Large crowds, loud sounds, need to be avoided if possible. Food is always an adventure except for turkey bacon. I swear he can eat it daily! Lol

@Greg Eigsti I am so happy to hear that Joel has a positive first experience! It has been an off day around here, gloomy weather all day too, so this definitely put a smile on face! Ironically my son’s ABA therapist and I were talking and he wants to tag along with Ayden on first trial run...

In another thread regarding fridge sizes the conversation led me to make a statement regarding my sons diet; which is really the very selective foods he will eat time to time for days, weeks, etc. Which got me thinking.... The parents of kids with special needs, does your child go through a...

I know what you mean my wife’s medical supplies were late as well but luckily then too came just in time, so I feel your pain.

@diabetiktaco can you just pick it up? They screw us up all the time at work with “delays” so if I need a part bad enough, I just go get it from them.

I agree with you about buying once, but we are a family of 4 with my son being Autistic in which he can be specific in “I will only eat this” ... he eats just about everything but there are days in which he has his ways about him. So I need to carry extra in case it’s one of those days ...

Been thinking about this last few days and based on what you guys suggested, I think I came up with a solution that allows me to possibly get a smaller fridge. Using a fridge as a freezer only with my yeti cooler. I have some yeti Ice that works good for keeping drinks cold without all the...

@Greg Eigsti That’s a hell of an idea your parents had; maybe incorporate a family photo of scenery or sign...

Thanks! Pros / Cons over a cap? Besides the obvious of everything stays dry...lol

Being new to overlanding and patiently waiting for the diesel Gladiator to be released has left me with a lot of time to plan out / day dream about what might be a good overland setup or not. I am hoping some of the members with truck beds, wouldn’t mind sharing some photos of their truck bed...

I unfortunately won’t be that lucky.

I think your right, no actually as I read it back, I know your right. It just took me a little longer to realize it. Thanks everyone.

@Billiebob thanks! I am trying to work all of this out for my son. The cost is just outrageous but it will be worth every penny. Once we are all set and done.

I am looking at a trainer/breeder in which the training is pretty extensive. As the main handler, I will travel out there for a week before bringing the dog home. When the dog comes home, one of the trainers comes down to my home (stays locally) and trains the family on handling the dog. I...
