Goodie The Second: “Animal Madness,” a personal essay. My son Benjy is addicted to animal videos. Three, four times a day he pulls me to the computer and makes me watch with him. For about a year, the videos were almost always about small mammals: irritable fennec foxes, clever mice, and in general anything cute and furry, with chubby a decided advantage. And I think to myself, this kid is adorable, but man, is he nuts. Benjy has contracted Animal Madness. I begged and begged. My parents declined....

Reflections: mothers, un-mothers, and walking together

Parenting, Life, Autism, and Random Ramblings written by possibly the world's oldest 30 something. Welcome to our village. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Mothers, un-mothers, and walking together. At some point, many mothers no longer feel like celebrating birthdays. Some times, it's due to the number of candles on the proverbial cake. Other times, our birthdays are not celebrated because moms, in particular those who happen to be single, of children with special needs are responsible for ALL. An un-Mother's Day"...

Parenting, Life, Autism, and Random Ramblings written by possibly the world's oldest 30 something. Welcome to our village. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. I admit it. I'm ashamed that I never thought Andrew could have real friends. I've never been so happy to be so wrong. The last time I saw other kids truly like Andrew and engage with him, and he with them, was back in kindergarten. Young children don't judge, they accept. The little girls especially enjoyed playing caretaker. Oh how I loved p...In the mi...

Reflections: To share with our daughters and friends
http://kidsautismandfindingjoy.blogspot.com/2015/02/to-share-with-our-daughters-and-friends.html
Parenting, Life, Autism, and Random Ramblings written by possibly the world's oldest 30 something. Welcome to our village. Monday, February 23, 2015. To share with our daughters and friends. Maybe we as a society need to open our eyes a little wider to recognize an abused woman. She can be poor or rich, have dark skin or light, have two college degrees or be illiterate. Domestic violence doesn't discriminate. And say those words she needs to hear."You are better than that"! When you move on, take a breath.
