It’s November 2015, and a few changes have been made to the DAS system.  As most people know, Disney World has been moving over to a system using Magic Bands.  At the time I wrote this in November 2013, there were still FastPass […]

  For a while now I’ve been contemplating making something that would possibly make my life a little easier.  I’ve had enough meltdowns on outings with my ASD kids to know I wanted to do something to indicate we are an Autism family.  I also […]

This last spring my sister challenged me to run a half marathon with her in the fall.  It was 19 weeks away at the time, and I began a couch to half marathon program that left little wiggle room.  I started training and things went […]

Torn That’s how I feel.  Torn. Baby Girl was evaluated in speech, gross motor and fine motor skills and in sensory/tactile sensitivities.  She qualifies for services. She had her first evaluation with the case manager a couple of weeks ago.  We schedule another evaluation and […]

Back in July I wrote how I took BabyGirl into our favorite Autism medical center for her sibling study evaluation.  She excels at gross motor skills (we knew she did), but she is a bit more behind in expressive speech.  It’s been over a month, […]

Baby Girl had her second GI scope today.  She was a lot grumpier this time around and the grumpiness lasted longer than it did before.  The doctor showed me the pictures and things look good, but she’ll send the biopsies off for evaluation so we […]

Remember last week when I posted that Whirlwind was complaining about going on the scout camp out?  And that I mentioned it was an important camp out for both boys? Whirlwind sabotaged his brother.  I just don’t know if it was intentional or not. One […]

My boys belong to a church-sponsored Boy Scouts of America troop.  It has been a good experience for them.  We have an upcoming camp out, and once again Whirlwind is declaring loudly he doesn’t want to go.  He does this just about every scout camp […]
