Physical Health can often affect your mental health and how you think about the world.
They have a ton of sales and their clothing is awesome! My daughter who has tactile issues liked the tee shirt she got from Soft Clothing. It’s a red short sleeve shirt and it has everything they say they have. Flat seams, printed tag, and the fabric is soft as well. I’ll be trying their […]
About 2 weeks ago I got a call oen a Sunday evening from someone who said they were with our local charity organization that supplies food and gifts for the less fortunate during the holidays. She said my daughter’s name had been suggested as a family who might benefit from the supplies which included food […]
So, today I talked with a coach about why my business has fallen apart. I blame it on my children. Isn’t that convenient? Anyway, I explained that before this last year, I had no outside help for Nove. No group, no camp, no case managers and counselors…… And I had all kinds of Time! Now, […]
Are they working? The anti-anxiety meds I don’t know exactly. I’ve seen a different child in the mornings this week, but (it’s a BIG but) she goes through stages anyway. So, maybe she’s really bi-polar and just on the upside of the roller coaster? Or, maybe the medicine is working……. Your guess is as good […]
I took Nove to the doctor yesterday after months of discussion and worry. We talked to the doctor about having her start on anti-anxiety meds. She’s only 8 but has strong anxiety about everything. I assume it is part of her autism. There may be some ADD also, but we have to start with one […]

I still had to pretty much drag Nove out of bed, but at least it wasn’t a fight. She was being very clingy so she had to hug me as I tried to walk us into the living room. Then, she wanted help (no, she wanted me to do it all!) with getting dressed. But, […]
So, today wasn’t much different than yesterday in that Nove didn’t want to go back to school. But, I was able to fight her, and it IS a fight. I had to physically drag her out of her bed. (no amount of bribery, or threats got her out of bed. She tucked arms and legs […]
Nove doesn’t want to go to school today. She started last night at bed time working herself up over not wanting to go to school today. She had a break from school, 5 days including the one last week that she chose not to go. Her birthday was Friday and she turned 8 years old. She […]
Last year I had the mother of twins with autism on the radio show and while we touched on the rumor that there was a direct link between twins and autism, we didnt get too in depth. But, recently a new study says “There is a substantially higher risk of autism in identical twins as […]
