I want my readers to know how I feel about this whole Jenny McCarthy and The View debacle. First of all, I don't watch The View and have no intention of changing that. Here's the problem, as I understand it.  Jenny McCarthy has been an outspoken opponent of vaccines for a very long time.  Her crusade began after her son showed what were consider signs of Autism, after his vaccinations. As it turns out, he didn't have Autism but some other genetic disorder that she was able to address with the GFCF Diet.  Did vaccines have anything to do with this at all? I have no idea.  I think that she has the right to share her personal experience as well as her own opinion. However, where I have a…

Today was a really weird day. I'm not sure how to describe Gavin right now.  I could say weird and that would absolutely fit but it seems a bit harsh. It would be accurate to say that Gavin was off today, really, really off. With Gavin's complexity, it's often hard to sorta put your finger on what's going on or find the words to describe his behavior. Behaviorally, Gavin's had a great day and I'm super proud of him.  I made sure to tell him that also.  As far as health issues go, it was a strange day for him.  I wasn't sure if he was going into a crisis or getting sick.  Honestly, either one would be a bad thing for him. He was having tummy issues on and…

Most parents think it's nice to see your kids getting along.  I'm no exception to this. In fact, I live to see my kids getting along. Today, Elliott and Emmett were snuggling on the couch and sharing the iPad. This is a huge victory for the Lost and Tired family. Lately, the boys haven't been getting along all that well. They did today though and that is something that I gratefully accept. :-) This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me
