I was so surprised when I opened up my email this morning to find that Tanya from Teen Autism awarded me the Lemonade award! I am honored! I recently found Tanya’s blog, following her back through a comment left on another blog, and as soon as I started reading, I was hooked. Her blog is [...]

Kindergarten Open House

Kindergarten has been in session for a month and on Thursday night I went to the Roc’s Kindergarten open house. I was a little apprehensive, like I always am to go to the school, but excited to see if I would get a chance to talk to the special ed teacher and see how he [...]

For the longest time when children would talk to the Roc he would just grin and repeat what they had said.

The Roc has been surprising me lately with the stuff that comes out of his mouth. His imagination is slowly, slowly, slowly emerging and sometimes he sounds just like a…a…kid.
Echoalic speech is still sometimes present but usually it’s used appropriately. As in, he will repeat something, but in the right context. For example, at the [...]
