Socks with Sandals

Just to lighten the mood,  I thought I would pose this question to you all.  Can you wear socks with sandals? Taking it one step further, should you wear sock with sandals?

The Lighter Side of #Autism: Naptime

I grabbed this picture after Emmett fell asleep at naptime yesterday, while Gavin was at his infusion. I thought this was a really cute picture,  especially with Bella laying across his little legs.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

My super deal :-)

I snaked a really good deal at Giant Eagle yesterday. It was obviously mismarked but the store honored the price.  Yay me...... I took advantage of the BOGO and also grabbed this as well.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

Positive

Lizze came home from Gavin's infusion at Akron Children's Hospital bringing news of how well Gavin did.  :-) This is really positive as Gavin doesn't always make the best choices while at the hospital.  She even said that things didn't go his way,  and yet he took it in stride.  Way to go Gavin.  :-) It's really nice to be able to post positive news in regards to Gavin.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

What do you see? (09/13/2012)

Elliott and I did some running around after school today and one of those stops was Clear Water,  to fill up our water juggs.  I was teaching Elliott how to do this and it turned into a great example of an aspie trait. So,  looking at the picture,  do you notice anything? This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

What would you do with $1,000,000?

I was sitting here while Emmett fell asleep,  stressing out over all the various expenses I can't meet.  The thought popped into my head,  what would I do with $1,000,000? For me,  it's a lot like window shopping. I'm just sitting here thinking about all the things I would do with the $1,000,000 I don't have. I came up with following list: *these are in no particular order 1) I'd move my family to a safe neighborhood 2) I'd get Emmett into the preschool he needs but is too expensive 3) I would help my family 4) I would get Lizze a nice camera so she can pursue photography 5) I would get the kids the best, most awesome playground for the back yard 6) I would try to find…

Are children with #Autism treated poorly in school?

I posted earlier about the little kindergarten boy with #Autism, denied lunch over a billing issue.  The school claims it was an oversight. Is that possible? Sure. Is it likely? I doubt it but I wasn't there, so I can only speculate. This got me thinking and I decided that today's #Autism Discussion should be on this very topic.  I'm wondering if you feel that children with #Autism are treated poorly in the school setting? Are they treated differently than their NT peers?  Obviously kids with special needs have to be treated differently in some cases but I'm referring to something like what happened to that little boy in the article. Are children with #Autism more likely to be treated poorly or mistreated in general, than their NT peers? What…
