A ring to bring together parents of Autistic children, Autistic adults or anyone with an interest in Autism for the purpose of sharing information and giving support.
My personal belief is that in many cases these vaccine poisons are damaging children's brains -- mercury, many other toxins. I will post my research here when I have more time, and God Bless anyone whose child suffers from this. There must be some way to undo it.
A FREE central web site bringing national resources for people with disabilities in one convenient location.
Plus stories, help and a way to connect with others.
Note to Scooter's Social Skills therapist: Can we discuss how to stop him* from publicly announcing, "Smuuuushy butt!" as he pokes mine?  *use positive supports for redirection, at least to someone else's behind. and NO! I will not pose for a social story picture.  Teehee! :) I  suppose I should be relieved at his choice of adjective...
My wife got hired as a CNA at a local nursing home. The interview went really good and they will call her on Monday. She needs to get out of the factory 3rd shift. She feels unappreciated and does not like at all what she's doing. The women are mean and crabby and all talk shit about one another. It does feel like a p...
As I've realized many times before in this autism warp, we forget what we're missing until it knocks us over the head. Â Scooter had a milestone moment today, one that I had given up to autism puzzle, to prayer, to hope. Â var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

What a stressful new year it has been so far. My brother in law is staying with us and his 3 year old daughter for a while. He has no job, car, license and a girl pregnat which possibly may not be his child. Poor guy. I really wish the best for him. The good news is that I don't have to load up the kids at 5 in the mo...
Calming Attachment - Dane found an old liquid timer in my old bedroom at my parents house. It's one of those, well, it's like an hour glass that you flip over and blobs of liquid colors spin gears inside the thing. It is so old that the colors faded and it just looks like water. Now, he has an obsession taking this with him everywhere. The first nigh...
R.I.P. Gizmo - Another one bites the dust. Gizmo, the black and white guinea pig was killed in a tragic accident. I could have probably prevented it by telling the kids to put the pigs back in their cage while I got ready. Both Wubbzy and Gizmo were squeaking happily and the kids were petting them. Dane opened the door and said he was going out...

.. Sippy? On a snowy afternoon, Scooter counted down for a game.  In his carefully modulated tone, "One sippyTwo sippy Three Sippy GO!" I was sure of his words, but couldn't figure out his meaning.  Chickie and I checked each other's faces to see if we "got it". Nope.  No clue.  Next game, I asked him to count down again, giving Chickie th...
Dane is more comfortable with adults to interact with but he is starting to explore more of his peer interactions. A strength of his is complying to his teachers directions and willingness to try something new. He is showing an interest in stories being read out loud and computer activities presented in his class. He is beginning...
Is there anything so difficult as seeing your child in pain? Nickerdoodle got blasted by a heavy steel door after school today, knocked his sturdy 110 lb. athletic frame to the floor.  His toe, arm and shoulder are bruised and swollen, very sore. I'm betting his backside will be hurting tomorrow from falling on his tailbone. He really got nail...
