Step Back and Think About It...
What's REALLY important here? We are a busy society. We rush from place to place. We are always in a hurry. There is much to do on any given day. I am totally guilty of running through the days, wishing for the end… -
Pressing on as Giving up is Never an Option
"We just want him to enjoy his experience here as a student" is what we were hearing. Of course when confronted later on, it was miscommunication. Maybe it was. What we heard as parents was: give up, he can't succ… -
Those with Special Needs and being 'Gifted and Talented'
It's very interesting. My 8 year old daughter tested as "gifted and talented" when she was 6 years old. As a result she is being enriched with a curriculum that is geared for children who test on that level. I do agree… -
Memory recall and Aspergers
My cellphone was ringing earlier this morning. I noted the telephone number and inwardly winced knowing that it was my son's school. Over the past two weeks, we have been treated to several conversations, I will admit… -
An Asperger Appetite and Dinner Planning
"Can I have pizza?" is a question I hear on an almost daily basis. On the days pizza is not being requested, my son is asking for Burger King. I cannot believe with the amount of times I tell him no, he continues to a… -
Trying to understand my Asperger son
How easy it would be to just let my almost 14 year old son just sit quiety and read his books, play his video games and leave him alone. He would like that. But I can't do that. He is growing up. He has to learn how to… -
The Asperger Siblings
While going through my second son's folders while he was in second grade I came across a worksheet that as usual was a bit crumbled and folded. I opened and read it. It brought tears to my eyes. It was titled "Wish Upo… -

What the future holds for my Asperger child
What happens after high school? Last month, my son started high school. Like many parents, we are faced with the impending thoughts of "what next?" Most parents are thinking about college, the high cost of it, t… -
Living with and Loving the Asperger Mind

- About Me: I am a busy mother of three. My oldest son has a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome which has become a full time job. I spend a great deal of my time educating people about Aspergers and making sure that his services are in place. Each year we battle the Department of Education in order for our son's education to be handled properly. Much of what I write or post will be about issues of special needs parents/children and adults. I have been a teacher for 20 years. I am currently employed as a part time Museum educator, which is interesting and alot of fun. I have two other children, both are soccer players, very bright and keep me just as busy as the oldest child. I have published two articles in my local newspaper about raising a child with Aspergers and I am currently working on a novel about the same subject. I have published a children's book, Spenser's Pencil, which took place while I was a third grade teacher. I never have enough hours in the day to get everything done, so I
