Autism As A Whole

It has been a rough week, but you can read about that here: My Glass Is Half Full. Here a few shots I feel captured my week. Hope you enjoy them. I tried very hard to capture a family Christmas shot but I do not have a typical family. LOL.. Chucky hates clothes. He tears them off within 10 min of being home....

As a mom of two children with special needs I find that sometimes I feel jealous and envious of other parents. The parents that can go out to eat dinner without a scene or have a huge family dinner filled with laughter. I envy the parent whose two year old speaks and even the baby that smiles back at you when...

Magic Marker Monday Chucky made this book in school with finger puppets too!! Macro Monday I had to add this pic of my teenager cause well... She makes me smile!!...

Things have been looking pretty dreary here lately and I have been getting depressed. Charles has a ton of doctors to see about his muscle atrophy and I have been very concerned. Christmas is almost here and approaching very fast. I wasn't even sure how I was going to manage Christmas this year with many unexpected...

Well, It has been such a long year and I guess I haven't thought much about the holidays. The holidays are always a bit tough because it makes you think about all the loved ones who cannot join you in person with the festivities but we have created ways to include them even if we cannot sit beside them and hug them.  We...

Well, I wanted to take a moment to thank my readers and fellow bloggers. There are a few bloggers who loyally visit and comment on my blog and I have to thank them because they have helped me get through some tough times and always show support. Thank you to If This Is Motherhood, for being a great sister and always...

Chucky Cheese brought this home from school the other day and no matter how many times I tell him he always say Quack Quack. I keep telling him they say Gobble Gobble and he just said Yumm... Yumm...L...

Photo courtesy of Brad Fiore OK... I am not even sure where to start. It was a great week in the beginning. But things quickly slid down the endless mountain that I seem to be re-climbing again and again and again. I know that must sound very familiar but I am so exhausted and drained. The stress in...

 My Chucky Cheese may drive me completely insane but, He has such an adorable smile. Well, He has been being difficult and not wanting to shower, bathe, brush his teeth or take his vitamins. So, I have to be creative. C.C. has Gummie Fish vitamins and he talks to them. So.. as he pops them in his mouth I can shout...

The holidays are here and that can be really hard. It is overwhelming for me as a parent so I can't imagine how my son perceives it. I know the pain that hits your heart when a child you love so much seems so far away. I know what it feels like to get them a present you know they would love and not even have the recognition...

He is picking his skin in this picture I gave him the Chewlery to try to redirect him and....... It worked!!!  Skin Picking is one of my little man's stims and I cannot seem to stop him from doing it. They say it is sensory related and he also chews on his fingers. I have been contemplating getting...

Motherhood, Giftedness, Aspergers: Mission Impossible This might be a long one, friends.  Please be patient with me.  I've got much on my mind.  I am fighting a battle with myself and I could use some advice and support. I’ve talked about giftedness on this blog many times and most of you are...

Chucky spent most of his time under the table with my laptop as I was cooking the big meal.  The whole bunch including my niece and nephew who joined us for our big meal. I had to call Chucky in to take the pic.  Buddy loves to be silly!! Chucky had to eat at his own table with mommy. He was overstimulated.  Sweet...
