Just posting to say that after a summer-long hiatus, I will begin updating here again. Gus will be starting school – 4th grade – Holy Cow!! We’ll be trying a new supplement for his ADHD symptoms, mostly so he can try to control his impulsivity, so I’ll record how that works out for us. Soccer season [...]

Hi there and Happy New Year! I haven’t posted in a while because there hasn’t been much going on with Gus. We survived the holidays by balancing a frenetic social calender with a few days of doing absolutely nothing. I think we all appreciated those days, and it [...]
Due to a rare burst of energy, along with a rare, yet perfect alignment of the stars, we took the kids to the playground today. We figured it would be empty (like it usually is) so we took the soccer ball intending to let them practice a little. A little boy from down the street came [...]

Social functions can be a nightmare for parents of a child with autism (and for the child for that matter). But they don’t have to be. With enough planning and preparation, your child can attend those functions with relatively few problems. Yesterday, we took Gus to an engagement party for a good friend [...]
Yesterday I got to take Gus to his soccer game! It was awesome, in large part because we had an almost 90 degree day yesterday, so in the morning, the temperature was perfect for hanging out watching a game. I saw some of his teammates from the fall season and a couple of additions. [...]
