Autism Mom Diaries: Lost, Again...
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2015/03/lost-again.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. He was gone. Just like that. A blink and gone. I looked around. I checked up and down several aisles. How could a 4 foot 9 inch, 12 year old in a red coat disappear that quick? I could call his phone! Shit It's in my purse. The ONE time it isn't in his pocket is the one time he disappears. Fuck. Now what? I was met with six panicked faces. I faltered. Why wouldn't I say YES!

Autism Mom Diaries: Why Do I Run?
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-do-i-run.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Friday, July 24, 2015. Why Do I Run? It also did not escape my notice that I was a third of her size. I have also become acutely aware of all the glares I get from heavier moms of special needs kiddos when I pick up or drop off my son to camp. How does it give us permission to sit on the couch and eat poorly day in and day out? I mean, jeez oh Pete! My health cannot be an added stressor to my day n...

Autism Mom Diaries: Our Great Summer Wrap-Up
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/08/our-great-summer-wrap-up.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Our Great Summer Wrap-Up. It's been a couple of months since I've posted. We have had one heck of a busy summer. The past few months have been full of changes for us. Some are for the better, some were simply devastating, and some just were. Turns out it was wildly successful! Sparky also went on his longest trip away from me! When he came home he barreled into me like a f...

Autism Mom Diaries: January 2015
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Acute Partial: The Note, the School, the Heartbreak, the New Fears. This is one of those times when I have so much to say but I have no idea where exactly to begin. That's probably why it has taken me so long to sit down and start writing this post to update you all on why my page has been so quiet. They didn't want to address it until after the meeting so the IEP meeting...

A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Thursday, March 19, 2015. Elopement: Tools and Resources to Prepare. With summer soon to be upon us again I wanted to take a moment to be serious. Weird, right? If you need some assistance in that area please check out what Jerry, a New Jersey Police Officer and father of an Autistic boy, has to say. You can see his page here. And his blog here.

Autism Mom Diaries: The Daily Image Struggle
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-daily-image-struggle.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Friday, April 3, 2015. The Daily Image Struggle. I want to take a minute and deviate from the normal stuff I write about. It's still relevant, since it's about being a mom, so don't worry. ;). I'm getting there. I promise. I'm one of those people who tracks how I look. Am I toning up? Is my asthma in control? Is this even making a difference? Is this worth the pain and effort of what I'm doing?

A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. It's not often this happens, but tonight, it seems to want to pop out. I do want to note that this isn't directed at anyone who is on my page. You guys are awesome and a pillar of support! I've gotten nothing but love from you and I appreciate it. This is aimed at people I meet in life. I'm not going to do anything to intentionally provoke him or cause a meltdown to 'chang...

Autism Mom Diaries: The Wandering Blockade
http://autismmomdiaries.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-wandering-blockade.html
A single mom's journey through life with her Autistic son. Often a comedy of errors full of joys and tears. Sunday, May 26, 2013. I'm not even going to sugar coat it. I rarely do anyway. So. Over half of all Autistic children wander. HALF. It's a sobering statistic that over 90% of those children who lose their lives, drown. It's kind of frightening really. Terrifying. I have nightmares about it, especially this time of year. My son is one who wanders. Front door (the door itself remains bolted):. Back (...
