Autism As A Whole

I always try to live each day as a new fresh start. Another day of adventure and experience. I try so hard not to let the thoughts of what if creep into my thoughts. It isn't as easy as it sounds. I usually end my day saying tomorrow is another day. I try to allow my children to experience life without restraint because...

Having a child with special needs can be very challenging. Many times we speak of ignorance and anger about other peoples reactions. It took me many years to truly understand the definition of ignorance and how to deal with it. I am not perfect but I try to ensure that I take every opportunity I have to properly and kindly...

As I meander through everyday life, I am often bewildered by my surroundings. Many times I feel as if life is totally passing me by. Sometimes I cant even remember how I got where I am. I keep hearing the words, "You are on autopilot, but a pilot is in control and I don't feel in control so I guess that doesn't work....

I wanted to write to say thank you to all those who supported My Hero Charlie during the blabathon. What started as a 24 hr blab ended up being 223 hours. We raised almost 3000 dollars between monetary donations and supplies bought off the wish list. Although we did not meet my goal, we did leave an impression. We spread...

Charles was not feeling well this morning. He asked me to get him food and by the time I got to his room with food, he was asleep again.  It is days like this that make my heart cry.

So, my night has consisted of, "I don't feel good" and a constant temperature taken. His temp seems to be running really low which concerns me. He usually runs about 97.2 and tonight he seems to be running 95 to 96.4. I have no clue what that means and I think I'll call the doctor to figure it out but I know that on...

Many people ask me how my boy is feeling today and I honestly wish I could say,"He is doing awesome!" But.. The truth remains that he suffers everyday in some way or another. Today he is just exhausted and battling the same headache for the third day. I want to say things are great and he is healthy. I want to post...

I got a new pill crusher that works amazing!  His Nexium was finally approved! AND................. I talked to Rob Gorski (@The_Autism_Dad)!  You might be wondering why I talked to him. Well, I have been reading his journey for many years and I am happy to say that he will...

Hello, as a single mom of 4, who has always tried to make everything work without asking for help, I surrender! I was told that in order to receive we have to make it known that we are in need and despite my personal pride and desire to do his on my own I know that I can't right now. Going to work is  impossible...

Lately blogging seems a bit boring. I am not sure how much I can say that isn't as repetitive as a kaleidoscope pattern. Everyday I awake to hearing the same words, "I don't feel good." The fact that I cannot help him feel better tears me apart inside. Chuck Cheese has been on a modified school schedule since last...
