Dad holds us together   Don’t post a lot about my husband Jr. Today I want to talk about him because he is my rock.  He is very much involved in everything we do for our kids.  All of the decisions we make are equal.  He went to all the doctor appointments and he’s a big supporter for me    The day Bad was diagnosed, Jr  was at the appointment with me.  We knew the diagnosis was coming and we were able to talk to each other our way home.  When we got home we immediately discussed  autism and trying to  fine doctors. He knew I wasn’t able to talk about it without crying.  We got all the  information we needed to get Brad on the waitlist. Because we all know they can be long!  We have found our groove after 8 years of being parents.  Without him I’m not sure we would be where we are in this journey. I’m not sure I would have had the strength to jump in so fast.  We got Brad started in school  after his di...

When a child has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, doctors typically prescribe stimulant medications that increase the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. While these medications effectively help ADHD, these drugs can also cause unwanted side effects. If your health care provider has prescribed ADHD medications for your child, reviewing these side effects can help you develop coping strategies and understand when to seek medical help for complications. Good sleep can also make a difference in the quantity and quality. For example, try one or more of the following: Try to go to bed at the same time every night Discontinue screen time  at least an hour before bedtime Use herbal remedies or oils for relaxation Practice relaxation techniques  before bed Take a bath before bed Decreased Appetite With extended-release medications, an early dose before school or work often means a loss of appetite at lunchtime. When you first start taking t...

  Why is Autism awareness important? There are many reasons, but to for me it’s very  important. I am the mom to a eight-year-old little boy who happens to be autism ADHD. Before my son, I had no idea what autism was. Sure… I had heard of it, here and there, but I couldn’t tell you what it meant. I wouldn’t have seen the signs. When my son’s autism was discovered, everything suddenly changed. I began to researched  everything I could. The truth is you can read a lot about autism on the internet. You will find charts and studies and articles from doctors. The thing is…those aren’t the things that I used to understand autism.   I read stories.  Ask a lot of question. But my   8 years old though me a lot  into our journey with autism, while I am no expert, now I understand why it is so important for the world to understand autism.

  Happy Friday word for the day. Bless Those Who See Life Through A Different Window - And Those Who Understand Their View. Even for parents of children that are not on the spectrum, there is no such thing as a normal child.”To measure the success of our kids , we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are be blessed

I believe that inside every person who is bullied there is a strength and a tenacity to survive. You don’t always know when this strength exists, but if you make it through those dark times, you become aware. You become a survivor, someone whose courage and spirit is far stronger than all of the hate and cruelty of their bullies. The one thing that I want to impart to children with autism is knowledge of their own inner strength, and the belief that one day at a time, they, too, can get through this.
