Gabriel's Angels: March 2016
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 9 March 2016. My Most Important Blog Post Yet! I will never forget February 2014. We were shown to another section of the school. This section had small cubicles. And I mean small. Each cubicle was sealed off with a door, had a small desk inside with the tutor sitting on the one side of it and the student sitting on the other side. It was explained that this was to limit distractions and outside sensory interference. After we left this torture of a facility (sorry, but that's how I feel about ...

Gabriel's Angels: June 2015
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 June 2015. Happy 5th Birthday, Gabriel! Happy 5th Birthday to our most precious little angel! Gabriel's Nanna wrote a very special poem (she has a great talent for that) that really says it all:. I want to take this chance to say. A very, very happy 5. We waited so many long years for you. So with great excitement we heard the news true. A special much loved baby was on the way. And this I can tell you just made our day. When you arrived you brought such joy. No other can ever take your place.

Gabriel's Angels: May 2015
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 May 2015. The Battle Against Ignorance. One of the greatest challenges an Autism family faces, almost daily, is ignorance. Ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to, often, irrational behaviour. A perfect example (yet again) would be of yesterday's visit to the pathologists. Gabriel has had a bad viral infection for a few weeks that has resulted in the classic blocked nose and horrendous cough. He has had more medication in 10 days than I have had in two years! Now, let me state that Gabriel...

Gabriel's Angels: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2016/07/one-step-forward-two-steps-back.html
Wednesday, 13 July 2016. One Step Forward, Two Steps Back. On the 16th June 2016, Gabriel celebrated his 6th birthday! We used to travel back home to celebrate his birthday, but this year we decided to have a very small party for him with a handful of friends. A fabulous friend of mine kindly allowed us to infiltrate her home with cake, party packs and snacks. (By the way, she makes the most DIVINE quiches! And he is growing up. Fast. He is becoming so much more 'aware' of everything. He is r...This is a...

Gabriel's Angels: Why Today Is Such An Important Day
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-today-is-such-important-day.html
Saturday, 2 April 2016. Why Today Is Such An Important Day. Today, the 2nd April 2016 is :. I wasn't actually planning on blogging about this today as, I thought, what can I write about that I haven't already written in the past? But then, I read this article. This morning. And something went *pop* inside of my head. Because articles like that are so damaging, misinformed and give out the wrong message. In today's day and age, where awareness is so much more rife than 10 years ago. Or so I thought. But t...

Gabriel's Angels: A Letter to Gabriel
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2016/11/a-letter-to-gabriel.html
Monday, 21 November 2016. A Letter to Gabriel. My most beloved, Gabriel. Today I feel moved to write to you, so this blog posting is especially for you. You are the bravest, most wonderful, brilliant human being I have ever been blessed to meet. You have taught me more about myself, about life, than in all my 34 years before you arrived. I know, though, there are times you are immensely frustrated because we don't always understand. That you try so hard to make your mouth, your body, do what you want...

Gabriel's Angels: September 2015
http://gabrielsangels.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 September 2015. An Angel Called G-Mary Poppins. Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! Who knows which movie that line is from? Ok, here's another clue - she carried a bag made of carpet that was always empty yet always full! Yup, that feel good, sing-along-to, a-bit-cheesy movie - Mary Poppins. The day G-Dad and I realised we needed to remove Gabriel from his first school and have him home schooled, was the day the universe posted that very same advert for us. You look for so...
