1. When attempting to dress up, for the rare occasion that you are leaving your house for something other than a doctor’s appointment, you notice that your makeup expired in 2006. 2. You use the makeup anyway. 3. Not only do you use the makeup, but you add water to the dried up mascara and…

Christmas Chaos and Peer Advocacy
I had my first guest post over at my personal blog last week. It is the story of a good friend who did some peer-advocacy for her son who is in first grade and has autism.
