Sometimes the simplest changes in routine can throw a child with autism for a loop. For example, take the holiday season, most children have no school and the routine gets thrown out the window. Let’s talk about something’s that can throw a child out of his routine.
Because routine is very important these kids, they need a routine securely in place, allowing them to stay up later in the evening or get up earlier or later in the morning can create havoc in a child with autisms day.
How Does a Moron Make it Through Med School

How does a moron make it through medical school? The truth is: they don’t. So what can possibly explain idiots like Dr. Michael Green, an infectious disease expert from the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, that defend an increase in the AAP and CDC’s recommended vaccination schedule? These people cannot be that stupid. They have had to get through medical school, no easy task I am sure. So what could the answer be? What could make physicians like Dr. Green vote to add more vaccines to an already massive vaccination protocol? There can only be one explanation: they are pure evil.

We've come so far, my Love
By Leslie McCann
With each improvement comes new expectations. I sometimes forget from where we've come. I sometimes focus too much on where we are now. I all too often focus on the things we still have to work on. I sometimes forget to pause in gratitude.
Therefore, I choose to take this brief moment in time to reflect on where we've come from ... to feel grateful ... to breath a sigh of relief that we are not THERE anymore. To be elated that we have come so far. We've come so far, my Love. Sweet Vail. My precious, precious Love.
A NEW YEAR MEANS TIME TO RAISE THE BAR

While on holiday with family, my sister made a comment about how much improvement my boys had made since the last time she had seen them – it had been about 9 months since her last visit. I cheerfully accepted her polite observation with a thankful smile. She then began to list things she noticed as improvement in their behaviors. As I cataloged her observations, I began to realize the gains my boys had made in the past year. Maybe - just maybe - all that we do is making an impact.
