Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Wednesday, December 07, 2005. Telling Him About the Birds and the Bees. Jacob is presently 15, he'll be 16 next month. His father and I have always shared with him only the information he could handle. Consequent to that, he wasn't told about sex until this past summer. He had a vague idea, but not specifics. This past summer, his Dad filled him in. His Dad told me he listened dispassionately and said he had no questions. Mom, can I ask a sex question? Autism So...

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Wednesday, July 06, 2005. How Can I Tell If My Child Has Autism. I have found The Autism Society of America to be the oldest and most informative site on this problem and I encourage you to visit the site for excellent information. Here I have copied their list of CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTISM. If your child has half of these behaviors, get them to a DEVELOPMENTAL PEDIATRICIAN for diagnosis. Early intervention makes a huge difference! Difficulty in mixing with others.

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake: Erection? Don't leave home without it....
http://parentinganautistic.blogspot.com/2005/08/erection-dont-leave-home-without-it.html
Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Sunday, August 07, 2005. Don't leave home without it. He was irritated that the CVS (Corianic Villi Sampling) test at four months wasn't able to identify the autism early enough to abort. I admit I would have seriously considered abortion if the test had shown autism. But I remember I could already feel him moving, so I hope I would not have made the choice to abort the blue eyed boy who is the greatest joy of my life today. So how can he be a joy to me? Well, a...

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Monday, June 27, 2005. Advice for Scared Parents. 8221; he simply hands the picture back and flatly says, “No. You weren't pretty.”, while I look for a door to hide behind. In spite of all the hardship of raising him, he is the joy of my life. I’ve laughed as often as I’ve cried when I see the world as he does. So, I thought I could share a few pointers on parenting an autistic for those struggling out there. At the end of the play, I put the ‘snow’ ...8221; The...

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Thursday, September 29, 2005. The IEP - How the School Can Help. I attended an IEP ( Individual Education Program ) meeting for my boy yesterday, as I have many times before, and it occured to me that some parents could use a little guidance on this. The Speech Therapist is the one autistics need the most and the longest. They should be called Speech and Cognative (thinking) therapists. Long after an autistic can speak, they need cognative therapy to be ...Some ...

Here's my Advice for Beginners. More later, stay well everyone.

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake: January 2012
http://parentinganautistic.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Thursday, January 26, 2012. I talked with my son, Jake, on the phone last night. He lives with his father in Washington State now. He's 22 years old. I can't believe it. He attends local college, just takes a course or two at a time if something interests him. He doesn't drive, or have any of the real skills needed to live independently. That's a long way off still. Thursday, January 26, 2012. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake: Fishing with Autism
http://parentinganautistic.blogspot.com/2005/08/fishing-with-autism.html
Parenting an Autistic ; Travels with Jake. Monday, August 08, 2005. Within five minutes of arriving at the fishing spot, we had the soda and beer in the water, poles baited, and I was dragging my lawn chair into knee deep water. The bait in my pocket would wiggle a little and give me a cheap thrill. I unfolded my chair, sat down and commensed "serious fishing". We left shortly after that heart stopping experience. I gave David my new orange thongs that I had just gotten from K-Mart for four dollars&#...
