Autism As A Whole

Due to the way disqus posts their comments and partially cause I am just so damn indecisive, I have decided to go back to Intense Debate. I enjoy being able to see and easily click on my fan comments (I feel special!!)to be directed to their site. I apologize for the loss of everyone's comments...

Just wanted to reassure everyone that I survived a night without sleep. We started getting ready at 6:00 am and got there at exactly 8 am but.... I forgot the script and they wanted to reschedule. My son has an amazing doctor cause they faxed it over immediately. He was not happy with the test and had a screaming fit in...

I am sitting here and it is now 3:15 am ans so far it has been a success. He is still awake and so am I. I have a pounding headache, have drank way too much coffee and I am losing my patience. I think it is because I am so tired, but my twelve year old decided that she couldn't sleep which, in all honesty, means she will...

Well, boy, I have to state that yesterday was a crazy day. Have you ever seen something as it was happening and couldn't stop it? I had this happen yesterday. I already talked about that today though but I omitted what I said when my son got hit with the door. All I could think was Shit!! As the thought came into my...

Ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go as planned? Have you ever seen something happening in slow motion right before your eyes, but you cannot stop it from happening? I had one of those days.  I picked my oldest boy,Buddy,  up from his dads on Monday and noticed his head was shaking. He was...

I received a book for Christmas and it really hit home for me. It is called The Soul of Autism by, William Stillman. This book incorporates many of my views and opinions regarding Autism. The first chapter however caught me off guard. I guess I was in a pessimistic mood cause when I read, "The World Needs Autism", I thought,"Yeah...

I chose to participate in this blog hop because I am one of those Mom's who never, ever, ever, wants to throw anything out!! If my child scribbled on it, it must be kept!! Although through the years I have eased a little. I realized that if I kept going at that rate my whole house would be boxes full to the brim...

I guess I thought I should post some pics of my Christmas with the children. It was a very nice day. Enjoy!! Buddy couldn't sleep. Santa was on our roof!!! She got so excited. Chipmunk with her IPod The Fire Truck Buddy with his DSi Pumpkin got her DSi Chipmunk got me this for Christmas. Chucky Cheese...

I have a tradition of cooking a ham for Christmas. It usually turns out really god but, this year not so much. I put it in and left it there for four hours. No, this was not a whole ham. It was a spiral cut precooked ham. What was I thinking? I have never cooked a ham for four long hours. It smelled good and there wasn't...

How are family gatherings for you with your special needs child? Do you cringe like I do with the thought of going to someone else's house and around a bunch of people? These things are actually kinda scary for me. Then I have to wonder how he will react to things. Will he say thank you and smile when given a...
