The other day while in the grocery store, I witnessed a mom with her daughter and her son with Autism. To the naked eye I could see how the child could appear to an uneducated stranger as simply a misbehaved child. The boy was trying to get away from his mother and when he could [...]
It is five in the morning and I have laid awake for at least an hour now contemplating that very question:
What Is A Good Night’s Sleep?
For quite a while there I was prescribed Ambien to sleep at night. If only in my own mind, I was becoming afraid that the use of Ambien was [...]

As I head back to work after a brief hiatus (mandatory vacation), I brought with me the book Empowered Autism Parenting. This volume as he calls it is written by a man who was diagnosed with Aspbergers. Aspbergers is a mild form of Autism. The book is meant for the lower spectrum (mild) [...]
Sometimes my husband feels weak or light headed all of a sudden. He thinks his blood sugar is low and I am pretty sure that he fells a little better after he eats something sweet. Does this automatically mean that he is hypoglycemic? Could it mean that he has diabetes? Since he just had a [...]

I went to Wellington Orthopedic in Anderson today to check on my ankle that I was told was broken. Of course, since I found this out, I dropped a bunch of 18×18″ vinyl tiles on the top of said foot making it look just horrible!
I had to explain what happened that brought me there [...]
I have a six year old son who is well, let’s just say really, really active. There are times when he will completely zone out and watch a movie if it’s a really good one. Then there are the times when he could not stop talking or sit still if you offered him all of [...]
I just got the results back from an MRI I had done since my ankle and foot still hurts over two weeks after a fall at work.
