Today is the start of yet another new chapter in our lives. A sort of setting free if you will. I want to share what our lives are like in the face of many challenges. Our lives are shaped our past and oh boy, what a story I could tell. Ever since I was young I wanted to write a book and in a way I have done that already. You won't find it in a store or as an e-book though.

My book is found as a multitude of scribbled notes in various notebooks, legal pads and files in my computer. It is in the pictures stored on cd's, in my phone and on paper. It is the letters written, emails sent and received, and the notes scribbled in books. It is saved on an external hard drive at our local school district's office. It is imprinted in my brain and will be there the day I die. It is the life of my son.

As some of you know Colton was removed from our school district to homeschool last November. There were cryptic messages on Facebook and those closest to us understood them. We were keeping things quiet because at the time we were taking legal steps to try to protect his rights to be safe at school, on the bus and to receive an education. We were wrong!

Today I will begin to let it all out. The details of Colton's life trying to get through a day at school and the lack of awareness how Asperger's affects a person's life. This is the story of the hell he lived in and will have to remember the rest of his life. Since we removed Colton, we were told that the school has changed the way they deal with kids that are Autistic. I don't know why they are changing things now.  The damage has been done.

Everything posted is my opinion, but the copies of photos, email's and letters are true to life and not edited in any way. A lawyer we hired saw the same email's, letters and photos that you will see. She heard the recording of an IEP meeting where we asked for help and our requests fell on deaf ears.  She saw the letter the superintendent sent to me after Colton was taken out of school filled with incorrect statements that were either to hide the truth or cover themselves. The government runs our public schools.
