  • Next Steps....RED TAPE TRIGGER WARNING!
    The daily, weekly, monthly red tape scissors. This is STILL an issue today! The amount of paperwork, testing, rejections, doctors appointments, therapists, school meetings, etc. all so my son could get his needs met and an education is so very exhausting. Trigger warning to the community, this will definitely bring up memories and nightmares of working the system. And then the isolation sets in.

  • Clearing the Air

    I wanted to acknowledge the ASD community, and ask for the grace to speak freely when identifying them through my language. I understand some of my language is now outdated and no longer relevant within our ASD community; however, as a parent who was in the throws of coming to understand our spectrum world, this is how it was presented to me. I feel it would be less effective and unauthentic if I were not honest in how it was expressed and received at the time it was happening.

  • Occupational Therapy
    After the diagnosis, what do you do? Where do find help? It’s all a learning curve, but early intervention therapies WORK! I started with OT and learned so much!

  • Concoction
    Everyone has a childhood story about something funny and strange that happened when they were little. And kids do some strange things. They might not seem funny in the moment, but boy do they make an impact on our memories!
