So I went to this little thing called BlogHer this past weekend and I had a great time. No, really, I did. BUT… I noticed some things about me while I was there. I talk too much. Like as in OVERSHARE. Like I discuss something until it can’t be discussed no more. And then I…

Let’s Talk About STRESS, Baybee…
Written on July 22, 2009 by ShashK
So I was on Twitter the other morning and I came across this in my Twitterstream: Parents of Children With Autism Report High Stress Levels http://bit.ly/7tjBl REALLY? You don’t say! I mean, parents IN GENERAL are stressed. It’s tough these days to raise a child, let alone more than one. (At least to hear my…
To Tell or Not to Tell, That is the Question…
Written on July 15, 2009 by ShashK
Do I, or don’t I? Do I tell them? Or do I just wait for the inevitable phone call, or note home? One of the many things I struggle with when it comes to Spiff is whether or not to tell you about his Autism. And by you I mean anyone. Teachers, Camp Staff, Friends,…
In His Element
Written on July 8, 2009 by ShashK
A lot of times, Spiff likes to spend his time alone. Try as we might to bring him out of his self-imposed shell, he will prefer to spend time on the computer, surfing for Japanese anime shows or watching someone’s “awesome” mashup of Pokemon and Mario Bros. on YouTube. He’ll even tell you his favorite…

Volume Control (and lack thereof)
Written on July 1, 2009 by ShashK
Some days, I swear I’m looking for the remote or the volume control. And no, it’s not for my TV, it is for my son. My son who abhors loud noises; the one who in every movie we have ever seen in a theatre has to cover his ears for most of the movie. The…
Just try it!, It won’t kill you!
Written on June 24, 2009 by ShashK
Feeding Spiff has always been a challenge. From the moment he entered the world, he had difficulty latching (oh, the tearful cries to the La Leche League still ring in my ears!), and then difficulty with bottle feeding and formulas. (We settled on Nutramagen) Then it was textures; Too grainy, too mushy, too sticky, too…

Graduation Day
Written on June 3, 2009 by ShashK
(Don’t worry, in another four years I will be writing this post again. Or maybe just reposting this one with changes. We’ll see what happens.) On Thursday, my son will graduate middle school. I will officially be the parent of a high-schooler. I know I’m not alone. I know there are other parents feeling the…
The Heart of the Matter
Written on May 27, 2009 by ShashK
It’s not about chemicals. It’s not about vaccines. It’s not about diet. It’s not about nutrition. It’s not about curing. It’s not about me versus you. It’s not about you versus me. It’s not about who’s right. It’s not about who’s wrong. It’s about a Spectrum. It’s about varying challenges, and rewards. It’s about coming…
Gearing Up For Next (School) Year
Written on May 20, 2009 by ShashK
As someone who works in education, these next few weeks are the time that is very bittersweet. We’re glad to see the year come to a close, but we are sad because we will miss the children that we have spent quite a bit of time with. While we will see many of them return…
