Facebook

Ok, I have posted my blog info on Facebook. Lets see how many comments and followers I get. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good thing. Autism, needs to be OUT!

Random Thoughts

I thank my high school pal Julie so much for her insight. She is a blessing and I am so glad she has re-entered my life, through the blog and Facebook. I read her comments and it is scary to admit that something may be "wrong"  with your child. No one wants the world to know that. I am still thinking about posting my blog info on Facebook since I have over 800 friends, and would love it if all of them would become followers :) I was sitting here thinking about my boy going to college. Will he be able to go? Will he be safe? Will he feel alone? I cant even imagine leaving him somewhere, anywhere, where I cannot get to him quickly, but then I think about me needing to let him go. He is somewhat independent, but he is still very much my baby (even though he is my oldest). Its a very very thin line, that I am treading, I know. It upsets me even to think about it. Ok, pull it together, you have at least 6 years before you freak out.

School time

Hello friends, I have been thinking about posting my blog info to obtain more followers but am unsure about it. Its hard to have everyone know that your child isnt perfect. And especially autism. I think people dont know what to say when you say, the "a" word, lol. We have been dealing with impending entry into middle school. My boy has been very upset about it. I think he is nervous because he has a hard time making new friends. This is a new school with new friends. A new building, so its scary. Its scary for Mom to, as anyone can appreciate. I am worried about him making new friends. All kids want to be liked, and the cocoon we had in elementary school is gone. We have to get that in middle school. Until next post....

Posting Blog #3 AND am up to 2 followers. Slowly but surely. The message will get out there. Ever since we got the diagnosis of high functioning autism, we have heard alot about if kids are getting it because of the vaccinations. Honesly, I dont know. Its a catch 22. Your pediatrician makes you think that your kids need them; then there are all these studies that say otherwise. Welcome any thoughts on this...until next time, friends

Blog #2

Ive got one follower! YAY! Good looking out family. I hope to have more so, of course. Once this gets off the ground, I think its gonna be a good thing for lots of people dealing with children with autism, or aspergers.

First time

Ok, this is my first time, doing this so Im a Blogger Virgin. I have always wanted to do this but didnt know how. A good friend of mine from high school, pointed me in the right direction, so kudos to her! Thanks for your help Ms Julie, you are fabulous. I am basically here to blog about autism and the affect that it has on the family and other relationships. Im also here to learn and try to figure out how to help others. If something that I blog, can help any of you, then thats a good thing! Seriously.....

Hopefully, there will be a day when Autism wont even be around and we wont have to discuss it, it will be a thing of the past. I am so looking forward to that day, even if I dont lay eyes on it.

Please be patient with me as I learn the ins and out of this blogging thing. Im not that techinically savvy so its gonna take me a minute to get used to it....

To, a new adventure and to learning new things about this disease thats been robbing our kids
