Wake Up Call
Last Monday, I started having chest pains. I ended up in the ER for a few hours and finally was sent home. I was supposed to rest, but that never happens. I have so much stress on me that I am a walking heart attack waiting to happen. I’ve been so busy taking care of my 3 boys and working my full time job (that I love), that I’ve lost sight of me. This past Saturday, my 15 year old autistic son…

Halloween at 15? I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween. :) Last year, we decided it was the last Halloween for Austin due to his age.
Another Heart Scare
Tuesday, Austin fell unconscious and had to be transported by ambulance to a bigger hospital in another town. He was with my mom swimming (yes she is getting all kinds of initiations lol). They had only been swimming for 45 minutes or an hour when he said his chest was hurting. He got out of the pool and sat down in the sun-room. He began speaking to a good friend of his and then he fell out…

Grandma was Initiated into the Running Club
Grandma was Initiated into the Running Club
During the summer, My mother watches my children for me while I am at work. She has never had any problems with Austin. He has always done what he is supposed to do with her. However, things changed Tuesday. Austin was speaking to his friend on the phone when my son Jacob started joking/teasing with them both. As you know, joking with autistic children is a no-go. Austin got very upset at…

Happy 15th Birthday!
15 years ago, I was pregnant with a baby boy who I had no idea would turn my world upside down. I was so happy when I saw him for the first time. He was the most perfect, precious baby boy that Id ever seen! I was scared and worried, but I knew that everything would be just fine. I knew I had to become the best mom that I could. This little boy was counting on me. In the years that…

Special Needs Parent who Complains...
Special Needs Parent who Complains…
Dear Parents who complain about paying Child Support, First, ask yourself this; Other than paying child support, what else are you doing for your child/children? Have you taken your children to school and picked them up? Talked to their teachers about how they were doing academically? How much homework do you help your child with? Do you know your child’s teachers names? Or what subject they are…

Cortisol Levels Higher in Lower-Functioning Autism
I saw this article and it was an interesting read for me, so I thought I would share. Lower-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit significantly higher levels of cortisol, the primary stress hormone in humans, than both high-functioning children with ASD (HFASD) and typical children, according to researchers at the Institute for Autism Research (IAR) at Canisius College…

Peace when Mom is Sick? Yea Right
Friday, I started to come down with something. Totally thought it was a pesky cold but by Sunday I was way worse. My chest was on fire as well as my throat and my 4-year-old was also complaining.
We went to the medstop after church and they confirmed that both of us had strep. (Great!…NOT!!!) Jaxon and I got our meds (I opted for shot thinking it would help me get on my feet faster……

Off Schedule
First, I apologize for not posting sooner than this. I have been crazy busy with work. But I have been getting emails and responding to those as often as I can. I hope everyone is doing well.
This past week I had to go out of town for a conference in Athens, Ga. I was out of town for 5 days. Before I left, I made sure Austin knew I was leaving. I went over my schedule and told him I would…

Bad Week at School
Bad Week at School
As Austin walked to the School bus on Monday, I told myself that it had been a great few weeks. Austin hasn’t acted out in school and has done very well. I’ve been surprised at how well things have gone. BOY OH BOY! I don’t know why I do that to myself. Once you think it, I think the devil swoops in and takes it away.
2 hours later, I received a call from the School. Austin freaked out…
