Sweet funny boy was in a compliant mood today... Getting ready for school was great. No tantrums.
I read an article that mentioned that some people with vague diagnoses of PDD-NOS or HFA eventually, after therapy, receive a diagnosis of something like "autistic cousin," meaning their affect looks enough like autism to...

It is with a sad heart that I must tell you that I will not be able to be as prolific in my posts. Yesterday was a dose of reality. I started training to be a representative in the insurance and financial services industry. I will have to dedicate 24 hours a day to learning this new craft. I will miss the comments and communication with all...
As you can see from the following date this was written sometime ago. It was my 1st post about Aspergers when I attempted to write & couldn"t continue because of how raw my feelings were then. It is still emotional for me but I believe I can go there here. Thanks for letting me share this.(**This is a 1st post in what...
Such a great weekend. N was bright and clear and perfect most of the time. Since he is so high functioning and can go for days appearing perfectly "normal" everyone who is involved in his care is blindsided by the autistic-like behavior when it jumps up.
This morning's tantrums undid me. I get used to it being...
Hello ~ Once upon a time I belonged to a wonderful blogging group for homeschoolers. During that time I began to share about my journey with having a child on the spectrum & soon realized just how vulnerable I felt. And even though I was encouraged to continue writing I was overcome with undealt with grief. I felt very...
I've heard both of these in the past 48 hours and I wanted to share them.

where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness,...

Happy 2009! Here's the next installment:
Lovey Boy
The first time Ben saw a football huddle on TV, he said, “Kiss, hug.” And the first time he saw a football tackle and pile up, he laughed and said, “Whole family fall down.”
Notes to my Firstborn
Liz had a holiday party for the families at her daycare, and...

I have read all the articles. I have seen the blog posts. I have watched the video clips. I am sad. Jett Travolta was a Human Being first. We all should take a deep breath and walk in his parents shoes. I can not imagine losing my son with out the chance to say I love you and good bye one more time. This 16 year old had parents who cared,...
GREAT day... N was fabulous all day even though he stayed up late last night and got up early this morning. Bedtime was a mess. I got hit. The hitting is the part that undoes me. I'll never be ok with this.

What can you do today...
If you are a parent... Love your child unconditionally. Do not let your child feel they are any less because they cannot communicate the way we do or look after themselves. Do not forget to look after yourself and your significant other. ( If you don't have one find one...There is someone out there for everyone. You...
