The Best Day of My Life - Happy Holidays and New Year from Autism One
The Best Day of My Life - Happy Holidays and New Year from Autism One
Today was the best day of my life because today was the day I saw the most joy emanate from my beloved son, Ian. He went to sleep on Christmas Eve at a reasonable hour and with a new musical toy in which he took great delight. He woke up happy. He was delighted this morning with another new musical toy. He did the best he's ever done with unwrapping. He made an appropriate choice between two foods. He exhibited the most superb eye contact. He sparkled longer than ever.
Pharma Ho-Ho-Ho (Julie's Christmas Present)
I decided to break out of my current blogging sabbatical to briefly comment on the Christmas present Julie Gerberding just got. For those who have not yet heard, the former head of the Centers for Disease Control ¬⎯ the federal agency responsible for formulating our government’s vaccination policies ⎯ has just been named to be the new president of Merck Vaccine.
Can Your Child, With Sensory Issues, Learn to Tolerate Holiday Gatherings and Parties?
I love the article below! I think it points out nicely that we, as parents, need to respect and sympathize with our sensory-sensitive children. The fact is, that regardless of how hard it is on us, it's a million times harder on them. It's our responsibility to protect them, respect them, and help them help themselves. It's our responsibility to teach the world about what they are going through, and to understand and honor them. They deserve that! And I think it's selfish to try to make them fit into our "box" of what constitutes "normal" behavior.

Delayed Grieving
by Leslie McCann
I spent five years defending my daughter’s needs to
professionals, to family members, to perfect strangers
and to my own husband. It was five years of pure
hell. See, for some reason, in our society if you don’t
have some sort of professionally labeled & drug-treatable
disorder, then there is nothing wrong with you.
Parents these days have children with all kinds
of problems: hyperactivity, food sensitivities that
lead to undesirable behaviors, sensory issues that lead
to undesirable behaviors, undiagnosed autism spectrum
