Normal
I'm not one to get caught up in semantics. It doesn't offend me if someone says Cuyler is autistic as opposed to saying he has autism. That's the PC way to say it but I've never really been much into PC.A lot of people who have kids on the spectrum refer to kids not on the spectrum as NT … [Read more...]
Functionality
Last week I took Cuy to an osteopath and as we were talking during the initial consult, he asked me a question I feel like I've been asked a lot lately. It doesn't bother me at all, it's just a tough one to answer."Is he high functioning?" I say he's high functioning...however...It's a … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – The Entertainer
This is my boy last night at his Christmas concert. Me - proud? You have no idea.There was a time when I wondered if this kid would ever talk, much less perform on a stage with 300 people watching him. My cheeks were numb from smiling so hard. And my eyes may or may not have … [Read more...]

Tuesday proved it.At pick up Tuesday after school, Cuyler had what I can only describe as "a … [Read more...]

Warm Fuzzies
I've written before about Cam and Cuyler's relationship.Lately Cuyler has preferred more solitary play, opting to draw in his room, bounce on his ball , or play on the laptop. Whenever Cam or Eva try to engage him, they usually get his hand in their face and a loud "Go away! Leave … [Read more...]
Wonderful Wonderland
We took the kids to Canada's Wonderland yesterday.For the first time. Ever.I think Cam is the only one of his friends who hadn't been yet. And I felt bad. We haven't done much this summer. Sean is just taking holidays now and I have a hard time taking the 3 of them by myself … [Read more...]
