Planet Autism: April 2013
http://planetoutreach-asd.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 8, 2013. Assistance Dogs, Magic and Autism. Last November I got a phone call that I was anticipating for a few years. It was the lovely Aileen from Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. Telling me that an assistance dog had been matched to our family, and that I would need to go to Cork for a week for training in all things canine. It was like winning the lottery, losing a stone and finding the cure for cellulite all in one go. She would not cure my son's Autism. That other *cough* normal. Like n...

Planet Autism: Autism and The Wall
http://planetoutreach-asd.blogspot.com/2015/03/autism-and-wall.html
Sunday, March 1, 2015. Autism and The Wall. A long time ago, in a land far, far away, two adventurers found themselves at the business end of enemy swords in a foreign land. A court hearing was hastily scrambled together, but soon fell into disarray as nobody spoke each other's language. Even the adventurers used different dialects to each other. It became a political embarrassment, and the judge needed to rule quickly to save his career and his reputation. The words stopped, and hope stuttered. To his a...

Planet Autism: August 2013
http://planetoutreach-asd.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 28, 2013. It's been a while. I won't make excuses.oh feck it, I'll totally. I spent the past few months doing the whole SuperMammy thing (wearing my pants on the outside and everything), surviving the summer "holidays" and deciding I was cured of Depression and stopping my anti-depressants (now that. Was a horror show, and I got to star as Freddie Kruger with lip gloss). Oh feck.my cellulite totally shows in these pants". On the excellent side (deep breath). I read chicklit til my brain...

Planet Autism: February 2015
http://planetoutreach-asd.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Follow my blog with Bloglovin. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. There is a well established link between having a special needs child and Depression. I always loved a bargain, but in this case I really could have foregone the 'two for the price of one' offer, forcing me to hot step a crazy balancing act with two uncooperative dance partners. It's like trying to boogie with two bags of cats. When I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. Who continued to bounce.

To The Zoo! | threekidsandi
https://threekidsandi.wordpress.com/2015/07/29/to-the-zoo
The Fastest Way to Piss Me Off →. July 29, 2015 · 12:01 am. Today we went to the zoo, the children and my mother. I had my mother in a wheelchair, so she would not tire. I had the children taking turns in a stroller, so they would not tire, which I suppose backfired on me, since they had to push each other, too. When it got too much for the children I pushed the stroller a ways, parked the kids there, and went back for the wheelchair. My mother tired after two hours, and I am not sure why, since she neve...

The Fastest Way to Piss Me Off. Domestic Violence Advocate →. August 8, 2015 · 3:25 am. At that point I yelled over to him to drop the gun and the bullet and put his hands up and go in the house. He did. I followed. But he went back out a few minutes later. I should have run after him. He and his RAD friend had been going at it for weeks, sometimes friends and sometimes fighting. His RAD friend is older than my son. He now knows all the right buttons to use with my son, and he knows how to upset ...It is...

The technician told me we would not be back, this test would be a one shot deal, and I assumed (don t we all assume techs know the results of the tests as they observe them? That the tech was saying she had observed nothing alarming. I have never been away from my children for a night. I am going to have to be. Luckily there ...

Parallels and metaphors between everyday life and the natural world. 8220;Naturally Obsessed”: A Graduate Student’s Perspective. March 5, 2009. November 24, 2015. Last night, at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan, I attended a screening of a wonderful documentary by Richard and Carole Rifkind entitled Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist. This film documented the path and travails of 3 graduate students who were lucky enough to be in the laboratory of Dr. Lawrence Shapiro. Notify me of new co...

Losing it, One Marble At A Time. Newer posts →. There’s a Ghost in my House. I mean a young girl who shouldn’t have been there, yet was. I stood there transfixed for seconds rather than minutes but it felt much longer. While I couldn’t make out details, as such, it was a girl and all I could make out was that she had long hair. I was nine years old. Had I hallucinated? Was my imagination working overtime? Or maybe it was sleep paralysis? We went downstairs and interrogated them. 8216;No. Why? Any subsequ...

Losing it, One Marble At A Time. Imagination Makes A Cloudy Day Sunny →. Colour Me Beautiful (or just do your best, dear! Some of the first changes I made to Mr Shambles’ man flat were to liberate it from the Cell-Block H grey windowsills and the Guantanamo Bay detention camp orange bathroom wall. You see, I knew how colour could transform a room and it’s the same with us. Back in the day, I bought the Carole Jackson’s. This is what happens when a tomboy is forced to wear a pink skirt. So I arrived at th...
