I always feel better when I eat cleanly and cut out the meat (pun definitely intended). It’s definitely not easy to reset your tastebuds, but I’ve done it several times before. For about a week I taper off any fast food or junk food. I eat less, drink more fluids and eat better. After three weeks you’re feeling great and can appreciate true flavor again. You don’t need a pound of salt or something to be deep fried to appreciate the taste. What does this have to do with Autism?  When Mommy feels good, Mommy is more productive and happier :)  Good luck ..read more

Unless you have a narcissistic personality disorder, most people go about their lives and have a level of reasonable personal pride. It can be pride in their career, pride in material objects, pride in people they know. I don’t have any of that. I only have one true, true piece of pride. My son is the kindest soul, the most helpful without complaint. He wants so badly to make people around him happy and proud. In fact, 80% of the progress he has made hasn’t been because of personal gain. He’s worked that hard because he wants us to be happy. He’s worked for years and we have been blessed ..read more

I’m so appreciative of Autism Awareness Day and Month. It reminds lots of people of what we fight for every day. What we will fight for every day for the rest of our lives. A long, endless fight. We get knocked down over and over again. We stumble, fall, stumble, fall, and then we finally grab something to hold onto and we get back up. Tired, we fight. Sad, we show smiles to our children. Angry, we try to be calm. Desperate, we pray. God bless every single person out there who is fighting. We may light it up, but we refuse to be blue ?? -Boog’s Mommy ..read more

Most of my blogging is about having a child with special needs, but I think way beyond the current time frame often. Why just worry about today when you can worry about YEARS in the future! ? Finding stories of successful adults living with a disability always warms my heart. You don’t find them very often, likely because these people are busy living adult lives. I ran across this post about a young man with cerebral palsy moving out of his parents’ home and living independently. It’s a great way to gain insight on how it feels to finally do things with no assistance. I think the writer, S ..read more
