We are fast approaching the one year anniversary of the Roc’s “A” day, or Autism diagnosis day, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what it was like last year during the holidays. It was an especially difficult time for us. We were also going to be alone for the holidays for the first time. [...]

Our morning started off with a runny nose….Uh-Oh. “Oh NO, a runny nose!!!!!” the Roc said in the whiny, high pitch he uses whenever he is the least bit upset. Runny noses (and “sweaty butt” when he used to wear a pull-up full time) really throw the Roc off. He can’t get past the sensation [...]
“Mommy!”

The Roc has started calling for me. Finally. It’s been happening more frequently the last few weeks and it’s music to my ears. I’ve waited soooo long to hear it. About 4 years and 2 months to be exact.
“Mommy!”
I’ll never tire of it and if I ever do complain, please, someone slap me across the [...]

Here I’ve been thinking for the last week that the Roc was doing well. I had a rough time with him 2 weeks ago and just about lost my mind (thanks Christa for finding it for me) but the last week has been good. No major tantrums, less whining, easier transitions, more asking for help [...]
Birthday Party

I took the Roc to a birthday party on Saturday. Usually I feel very apprehensive before bringing the Roc to a party. I worry about the amount of new children, the amount of strange adults, the new and different locations, the noise, the general chaos, and how all of that will affect the Roc. I [...]

Today I took the Roc to the clinic for a follow-up with his new family doctor. She wanted to see him again so she could get to know him a bit better and give him a chance to get used to their office. Nice idea but it wasn’t a fun experience. We arrived 10 minutes [...]
Baby + EE

I’m not really good at wordless posts for “wordless Wednesday” but I am good at posts with lots of photos! Here is something I’ve been wanting to document for awhile. The Roc’s love of his “Baby” and “EE.”
I’m not sure exactly when the Roc became attached to these stuffed animals but they are his most [...]
