I know I will love it no matter what it is, because it will be from the child, her way of telling me, “I love you, Mama.”

Treading Two Paths
I was so hoping this year to focus on building social scaffolding for the child at school. I’m dreaming of setting up a circle of friends who will know, understand, and advocate on her behalf as her differences become more apparent to her peers. I am just beginning the process of working out what that…
Special Exposure Wednesday – Took Over
Sorry I’m late but as you can see, somebody took over my laptop, 😉 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
What Really Matters
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed again. Thanksgiving went better than could ever be expected, and throughout the weeks leading up to it and immediately after, I held everything else at arm’s length. I have never been a “Black Friday” participant, and this year more than ever we’re…

The boy attended Therapeutic Movement classes. This was the part he liked best: That and the cute little girl in the class, 😉 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
Bullying and Special Needs
Last week Grandma visited us. This week we’re visiting Grandma.

I wanted to let you all know…
What a Difference
I’ve had emotional whiplash all week. Grandma is visiting us this week. In case you don’t know the significance of those words you can read the worst part of it here. I’ve written about our struggles with her before. Turns out she does not have Alzheimers or dementia, per se, but the neurological damage she…
Special Exposure Wednesday – My Little Helper
Somebody decided to “clean” the living room: Maybe I can get him to do the laundry next, 😉 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
Well THAT explains a lot! (New Neuroscience Research Findings)
“Did you notice how angry your sister is getting when you talk to her like that?” “Can you see that mom is frustrated when you’re not listening?” “What do you mean, you didn’t think she was sad? She’s crying!” These might seem like things only parents with kids on the Autistic spectrum may say to…
Truth or Dare
We’ve hit another strange milestone. I think the child has learned how to lie. Not that she does it well, mind you. Previously she has been honest to a fault: Why is your brother crying? Because I hit him… Ah. Whether I liked the answer or not, at least I knew it was true. There…
