Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Friday, August 29, 2014. Snowflakes, Meltdowns, and Autism. Several months ago an article appeared on Facebook showing an Autistic meltdown. I saw the article again yesterday, and for some reason (maybe because my ears were still ringing from the loud Queen Mother of all cuss words that was yelled in my ear because I wouldn't let Ethan have three simple laminating sheets), I was struck by it. As a do...

Out of the Grass: October 2014

Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Thursday, October 23, 2014. Autism around this place is like a zero to sixty E-Ticket ride of unexpected, seemingly disconnected, ups and downs. Over time we have been able to develop a mild ability to discern upcoming tweaks, and twitches in the course, but still have no ability to predict or foretell the direction these course changes might take, how long they will last, or their end results. Goodn...

Out of the Grass: ETHANISMS
http://jymmebe.blogspot.com/2012/10/ethanisms.html
Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Friday, October 26, 2012. Over the past few months I have been collecting a few, what I term Ethanisms. These are those funny sayings, interesting expressions, or quirky habits he has. Sometimes these have been going on for a while, and sometimes they just show up out of nowhere. Here are two that I am particularly fond of. Do you mean they have smears on the lenses? Yes, they've been human touched!

Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Friday, April 18, 2014. Ethan's Bucket List - another glimpse behind the veil. In January Ethan came home with an assignment from school - a bucket list. In class he had been asked to write down the fifty things he wanted to accomplish in life. So he did. Here is what he wants to accomplish in life. Go to Disney World. Go to Downtown Disney. Go to Disney World Resort. Go to Universal Studios. Okay, n...

Out of the Grass: December 2013
http://jymmebe.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Saturday, December 14, 2013. Art Linkletter Was Right. For my family, the worst thing about autism is that there are no "hard reset" magic key strokes and there is certainly no "system restore" option available. There is no going back and wiping the hard drive. One cannot just simply wish that certain things would be forgotten and POOF! An autistic brain seems much like a warp-speed-hyper-drive DVR.

Out of the Grass: A Link Between Angels and Men
http://jymmebe.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-link-between-angels-and-men_10.html
Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Wednesday, December 10, 2014. A Link Between Angels and Men. Amid language that would blush a Drill Sergeant, or the frustrating antics that would push even Job to the edge, there is an underlying innocence that radiates from a special needs child - even when that "child" is an adult. Such innocence is found in every aspect of their lives. Are met with the deepest pondering and contemplation. Ezra Ja...

Out of the Grass: The Patron Saint of Ethan
http://jymmebe.blogspot.com/2010/03/patron-saint-of-ethan.html
Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. The Patron Saint of Ethan. April is Autism Awareness Month. A few Sundays ago Evie made this statement to the congregation, "Ethan is a trial! However, there is nobody. In our home closer to heaven than he is.". Sorry dear, but you're wrong on that one, we have a tie! Patron saints, because they have already transcended to angelic status. Some Mothers Chosen By God. Exactly...

Out of the Grass: Be careful what you hope for . . .
http://jymmebe.blogspot.com/2010/04/be-careful-what-you-hope-for.html
Out of the Grass. The Musings of a Special Needs Family. Why I Blog . . . Autism - It is about character. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Be careful what you hope for . . . Nearly two years ago to the day, our Bishop, Sean Noble, came to the house to talk with Evie and I about Ethan receiving the priesthood and being ordained a Deacon. . . Well, as we sat and discuss this for nearly an hour, Bishop Noble said (and I'm paraphrasing), "I think we should ordain Ethan. Not just for him, but for the ward. I t...He we...
