This will be our son, Gerik’s, last year of school. In our world we call this “aging out of the system”. Most parents on our special planet don’t consider that something to celebrate. As you might recall, Gerik has what we now call nonspeaking classic autism. That qualified him to be on a Individual Education Plan (Special Ed) and could attend school until age 21. Gerik has just turned 20!!

What, wait, when did that happen… Anyway, the school system has been our family’s lifeline for the past 18 years, providing Gerik with a way out of the house. They gave his day structure with opportunities for social interaction with his peers and others.

The Kittitas School Staff have been amazing! The teachers, aids and students always tried their best to be accommodating, understanding and supportive of Gerik during his entire school career. It was not easy to staff a one-on-one aid for a child for 18 years. It all ends June 2017.

The future will be very different. No more helping him get ready for school and watching him walk through the school’s front door knowing his aids are there to greet him and work with him on his life skills. Now it will be just mom, dad and a few respite providers. It won’t be bad, just very, very different. But isn’t that life—nothing but change. And we will adjust. And life will be good. -Rolf P.S.
