I’m getting away this weekend! In about four hours my very good autism mommy friend and I will be skipping town for two whole days! We are getting massages tomorrow and plan on watching chick flicks, painting our nails, eating, sleeping in, window shopping, chatting and chilling out (without our kids!!!). I’m very excited and [...]

For a long time we wondered if the Roc understood what we were saying. Two years ago he did not have a lot of original, spontaneous speech. At three years old he could not answer simple questions, let alone ask them. We knew he was hearing just fine as he could repeat whole scenes from [...]

It’s a given, no parent likes to see their child struggle, really struggle with something. That is one of the hardest things to swallow about autism. So many things are a tremendous struggle for the Roc. Little things, simple things that other parents take for granted. Opening baggies, zipping zippers, screwing and unscrewing caps, getting [...]
