I am so glad to be back. My computer was down for over a month but now I can share with you the second part of the blog I wrote about the necessity for us to develop an identity for ourselves.
When one considers how fasionable it is for everybody and their cousin to tell us who we are and how we should conduct our lives, is it any surprise...
The year is 2030 Autism is cured. We have united as parents to find the cause. We have realized we were poisoning our children through continued generational mistreatment of our bodies. We were able to get the pharmaceutical companies to partner with us in 2012 to research the spectrum of disorders. The research confirmed that a sub...

Oh how I hate teaching to the test!
So--coming up this week my high-functioning child will take the writing Standards of Learning (SOL) test here in Virginia. He and his fellow 5th graders have been preparing for this test all school year (even to the extent of having day-long drills of writing, editing, revising). It escapes me what they'll do the rest of the school...

I have been reading information on the site for some time. We are very fortunate in that my son is high functioning. However, this has created an issue where the services that the Psychologist, Pediatrician and O.T. indicate he is need of won't be administered by the school because he functions at a level with average students.
