Autism As A Whole

 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.

Sometimes I wonder why I even attempt to bring him with me. I mean it is predetermined that he will have a meltdown. Something...

I decided to link up to a few blog hops today but I had a hard time deciding which one.  They are some great sites and I encourage you to link up!!! Today was a pretty calm day. Chucky stayed home from school because he had vomited in school yesterday and that meant he has to stay home today...

Chucky looks so sweet in these pics. I thought they were perfect. You see, he was sent home from school today after he puked all over himself and the gym floor. Does he look sick to you? He came home and was absolutely fine. Except of course the nasty puke smell. I don't do puke.  Chucky's favorite food...
