Be aware!

April is Autism Awareness month. I've been thinking about what I want to say about this. Seems like I should be grabbing the opportunity of an official awareness month with both hands and doing something amazing.

A great take on Autism

I don't have a lot to say today, but I do want to share something that someone else said.  I came across this great little video, made by a young lady named Rosie who has Aspergers Syndrome. It is called My Autism and Me and you can view it by clicking here. Rosie is my hero for the week!

Goals and how we try to reach them...

This question was asked yesterday, in a fantastic online support group for ASD families- How do you talk to your child and siblings about their autism, if at all? 

This is a significant issue in our house at the moment because both ASD kids seem to be going through really obvious social awkward stages at present. Here is the answer I posted:

Stop the ride- I want to get off

I tried a ride at Luna Park last time we went that I didn't want to go on. G really did want to go on it, so I went with her. It's called the Rotor. You get in this round room and stand against the wall and it spins fast until you are stuck to the wall so that when they drop the floor down you stay right where you are.
