A series of serious events has unfolded and given me cause to take action. I had to make a terrible decision that tore out a piece of me and the rest of the issues are doing considerable damage in impact.
I am seriously, grievously and even spiritually injured. And the nightmare is only beginning. I have no one to turn to now but God. Yes, part of that is my own fault, but I strongly feel I had no choice. I cannot explain that at this time.

This is being posted in all my blogs because I think it's very important. It's original post is at Sheboygan Press dot com as that is the community I live in and where this happened. I hope you will give some of your own input in this challenge, even if only here.
If you were given advice by an organization with solid reputation for helping others, and it turned out to be in error, would you be upset? How about if you were the one who got to be berated and verbally punished for following that advice? How would that make you feel?

Have you ever had something you wanted to do that you could see in your mind but just couldn't get to come out that way? I think we all have this problem sometimes. I recently realized that my son has one, his handwriting.
Asperger's folks are not known for good handwriting, quite the opposite. My own handwriting is pitiful and I admit it. As an artist I sometimes have a picture in my mind and have trouble translating it to paper. It's very frustrating when that happens. I sometimes have to walk away for the moment and try later.

This is part two of my “remembering heroes” bloggings and today I want to talk about another teacher. In the days of my 5th grade year I was asked if I would take part in something of a school expirament. The administration wondered what would happen if some fifth and sixth graders were combined in classes.

I know I’ve mentioned that I grew up with no one knowing I had Asperger’s Syndrome. It made things quite a challenge for any who dealt with me and there were those who gave up. I’m not writing to talk about them today. Today, I want to pay my undying respect to those who took one extra step beyond and never, no never, gave up on me.

I'd like to invite you to my youtube channel via this link for this video:

I’ve seen a lot of celebrity endorsements for one or another approach at handling autism. Green our Vaccines, Autism Speaks, Rethinking Autism and varied groups or advocates all have their own approach. They all have one inherent flaw holding back their progress. They all speak as if their way is the way to handle all forms of autism. There is no blanket approach to handling autism. That will not work and causes unrest in the autism community.

My son has become a pocket gopher. I'm already wrought with worry because he's underweight and we need to get some pounds on him. He's not an overly picky eater, but he's developed a serious habit. He stores food in his cheeks and not just a little of it.
