    I haven't pulled an all-nighter in a while. God Bless Red Bull.

    The Doodle is a great eater besides the gagging and sensory issues he has with some foods. Like most autistic children he has issues with textures. They call it sensitive pallate. Sometimes he'll come really, really close to' [...]

    I'm trying to remain optimistic.

    I'm looking at both the good and the bad.

    The Good News. The Doodle hasn't had a head drop seizure while awake since September 11th!

    Now the Bad News.
    The Doodle has been having sleeping seizures again,' [...]

    While everyone was scrambling last night to catch the opening night showing of the new Twilight Movie, we went and saw The Blind Side. A perfect and fabulous family movie based on a true story. Sandra Bullock was great--one of her best performances. Our date [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    Today we got our favorite and beloved Shape Assistant back, Betsy! We've been without her for about 5 months. She was the Doodle's Autism specialist for almost a year and formed a great relationship with him. He's comfortable with her and so am I. I've mentioned this before but sometimes [...]

    Things have always come fairly easy to me. While I've always been a pretty hard worker, it's been mostly easy. If ever I didn't like a job, I'd quit and easily find another. It's was a rarity that I would ever interview for a job' [...]

    Is it possible to have a sense of humor at such an early age? With parents like us, it's no wonder.

    See this giant bottle of pills?

    The Doodle has to take 6 of these Depakote capsules each day. Every month we go thorough a giant bottle just like this one. And, he takes another anti-seizure medicine called Keppra which is much easier to give because [...]

    How do you punish an autistic child that is so obsessive/compulsive you're not sure if he can stop himself?

    If you're ever at our house and you don't hear anything for a few minutes that is not necessarily a good thing. A strange silence usually means of one of three things is taking place:

    Oh the irony. Not to depress you but, I was watching an ad the other day on t.v. for an anti-depressant. Either the Marketing Wizards at Pristiq are speaking to me directly through the television or maybe I am imagining my symptoms of depression. It [...]

    I'm a procrastinator when it comes to difficult tasks which is why the Doodle's hair has gotten so shaggy.
    I can only muster the energy up about every 3 or 4 months to cut the Doodle Bugs Hair. I have to really focus, psych [...]

    We didn't take the Doodle trick or treating this year but we still dressed him up like a puppy because that's what good parents do. We put our children in heavy, scratchy acrylic material fake fur things so that we can take pictures and in my case, I can scrap [...]
