Life Love. Autism. Sunday, November 30, 2014. This is a record of the thanksgiving week. I am calling it the thankful week because of how lovely it was in its ordinary peaceful way.

Mama took a photo of me with Miss Darlene. Where is my Peter Pan Blanket? I went to Whole Foods Market, Macy's and Subway with Miss Darlene. Then we came home. I hav...

Floortime Lite Mama: Floortime
http://www.floortimelitemama.com/p/floortime.html
Life Love. Autism. Its always best to do Floortime with a professional that knows you and your child. - that is where the "I"and the "R"( individualized and relationship based ) come in DIR. The following posts are just my attempts to summarize some of the things the fabulous Dr Greenspan and his foundation have created, some public domain material and our own family's experience with doing Floortime. I am a mother, not a professional Floortime therapist. How should I do Floortime? Old address still works.

http://www.floortimelitemama.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Life Love. Autism. Monday, August 4, 2014. 4 weekends with Guests and a Wedding. If you have been wondering where I have been – I have been busy with guests this summer. 4 weekends with Guests. DH and I learned the following rules after running the A& K B&B. Meeting different guests show you all the different people you have been over the years- I dont think I have changed too much - everyone assured us we were just the same ( only fatter). From when DH was an engineer and was dating someone else. From w...

Floortime Lite Mama: Bits of January in Seattle
http://www.floortimelitemama.com/2015/02/losing-weight-lazy-weekends-and.html
Life Love. Autism. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Bits of January in Seattle. I have taken to writing about once a month – but even though not as frequent as before, I am still glad that I am a regular writer because I love to read this blog. I am also back to taking photos. A blogger I used to read – wrote that she felt that by taking photos and writing – she had almost created a distance between herself and her life - as though she was seeing her life through a lens. Here is what happened this month. My di...

Floortime Lite Mama: Fall in Seattle
http://www.floortimelitemama.com/2013/10/fall-in-seattle.html
Life Love. Autism. Saturday, October 12, 2013. The unbelievably glorious summer days are over. All these years in Tennessee – fall was my favorite season but the summers of the Pacific Northwest are spectacular and have almost replaced Fall as my favorite. I and DH put out all our Fall decorations. There is something so settling about welcoming season. This is the first summer that I am not desolate when its over (though I will miss the lovely blue skies). Community trips (more in this below). The second...

Life Love. Autism. Friday, October 29, 2010. Social Skills and No More meltdowns Dr Jed Baker. Dr Jed Baker was a phenomenal presenter. Of all the speakers I thought he had the most useful and practical content for a parent. Quick disclaimer: This is only a short summary. There was a lot more in his session . And obviously I see things from my own lens. PROACTIVE ( RATHER THAN REACTIVE ) APPROACH TO MELTDOWNS. It always starts with you – the parent, the teacher, the professional. Of the child . Its impor...

Floortime Lite Mama: Happiness
http://www.floortimelitemama.com/p/happiness.html
Life Love. Autism. I have found that life can be full of joy - even after Autism. Here are some essays which talk about how I discovered joy and happiness in some ways. Of Autism , in some ways. And in all ways because of the sheer joy that my son is. Being Loved Part 1. Being loved Part 2. Why we must love the life we have, not mourn the one we thought we were going to have. Why we must help our children play from their strength? Why I don't hate Autism. Why I never say Splinter Skill? How do we do it?
