    This post isn't politically correct. It might offend. I just thought I'd give you a little warning. I hope you'll watch the video and really think about it. But first, what is the worst word that you can think of? A bad word? A reeeal bad word. Yeah, worse than' [...]

    Friday morning was relaxed and nice. It was a little chilly, but we wrapped up in blankets and went outside on the porch anyway. Daniel enjoyed watching the birds and looking at [...]

    Something that is still sometimes hard to understand is stimming. You know, self comforting or regulating behaviors. The zoning out. Retreating. Being in his own little world. I hate all those terms, but you know what? They happen. They're part of Autism and even if I don't always understand [...]
