Yes you can homeschool a deaf and autistic child. Chronic intractable migrains... well more like chronic pain from a cystic mass in a bone behind his eye.  Conversations look weird but have a ton of meaning. Age appropriate words, ideas and concepts. Aspirational goals with solid foundations.  New tools! AAC training is as vital as ASL,  drawing, and handwriting. Retrospective images

Today I put 80% of kiddos school supplies in the garage. It is available and easy to get to, now I can almost see the floor again.  I am still buried in paper but it is getting much much easier.  Kiddo went to the farmers market with me. He made his bed and helped with laundry. He did a lot of paper modeling today. No handwriting practice, but a lot of signs.  He had a pretty bad headache for part of the day but the rest of his day seemed good.
