We’re annual passholders at Disneyland, so we try to go at least once a month, if not more often. With leaving for vacation soon, we weren’t sure we could fit it in but we wanted to check out the new Toy Story Mania ride. In one word: fantastic! Again, Disney has succeeded with a unique [...]
Wow, autism’s not welcome anywhere, is it? Gosh, wish I’d known about that when I specially-ordered my child, or I’d have asked for some other more socially acceptable disability.
Nothing says it better than the ABC article itself: Autistic Boy Kicked Off Plane
I’ve read a lot about this on various sites on the net. So much hatred out [...]
Seven days of ’school’s out for summah…’ — he’s wayyyyy too into Guitar Hero and he loves to sing me that song. Now I just have to wish he’d get the words right.
Anyway, it’s 108 here today. I’d bought a ton of outdoor toys for ds to play with to keep him happily occupied, without [...]
Summertime. I look forward to it each year: kids sleeping in, not having to make lunches, put out clothes, organize backpacks, sign papers, hearing the kids giggle, playing, cuddling, etc. But by the end of day one, it had already begun…”it” being the difficulties that my younger two present whenever forced to co-exist without planned [...]
When I started this blog, I had intentions of covering all aspects of autism, but focusing mainly on sharing news as well as day-to-day things that occur. Lately though, with all the news happening, I’ve gotten caught up. I’ve posted on so much of the hype that I’ve gotten away from my original plan. So, [...]
Lately, in the firestorm of arguments about mercury contributing to vaccine, new vaccines being put on the schedule, states considering making vaccines mandatory, I’m seeing pro-vaccine parents becoming more and more vocal. So many thoughts on that, where to start. I undoubtedly will muddle my words and my thoughts, but here goes.
I often hear pro-vaccine [...]
Does anyone see the contradiction here that mercury in amalgams is bad, but putting it in shots is okay? (It was also removed from mascara too — apparently it’s bad near your eyes.)
When is this going to start making sense? Thimerosal wasn’t taken out of vaccines back in 2000; new shots with that same amount [...]
You poor thing! You don’t have to finish that. I don’t want you to have a sickness, by all means throw the rest away…after you stop gagging.
You’d have thought it was brussel sprouts. What was it? A chocolate covered donut.
My son’s feeding issues have returned with a vengeance. Years ago, he ate 8-10 things without [...]
I was standing in the checkout line of Lowe’s last night, in the throes of a migraine that was only growing worse, when the people in line behind me slapped down some things onto the counter that we were still occupying. I looked down and saw the first item was a triple-pack of those spiral-y [...]
Well, if it’s just a ’stinking’ basketball, why are you so bent on taking it to school? Huh? HUH?
One sentence into my blog and I’ve already digressed. Then again, that’s life with autism around, isn’t it? Things are fine one second, and the next, they’re not.
This morning, things seemed to start out fine. Ds came [...]
