“as we drown in defeat, we may also grasp at the positive.”

thanks for saying this, Maddy—-I could use a reminder about it at least once a day.

I am a new reader to your blog, and just wanted to say hi. I am the mom of a few aspie kids, and life has been a bit too interesting here over the last years.

I will look into this book, it sounds very helpful!

Thanks,

Jabber

Sounds like a good read. I’ve read so much about how to help Michael and this sounds like it would help ME!

Thanks for the review.

“tit bits “? !

‘Really there’s no magic you know, it’s just about keeping at it.’

No anonymous about it. That’s me! Paraphrased. Harrumph and hallejuiah! This should be said often. Unfortunately, the sales of magic are unending. And loud. And convincing, apparently.

However, if I am to be believed, I best stay anonymous, as I have not lived it. Sigh. I’ve seen into the lives and homes and schools of many-a diagnosed child. I have listened, too. Looking for magic (in a star chart) is near-fatal, unless you believe in yourself enough to identify snake-oil.

Thank you for another thoughtful and enlightening post. I really hope that you do not really believe that you are “on the short end of life”. I’m hoping that phrase is evidence of “I’m very good at lying”.
Salud!

Disarm people by agreeing with them? Well, I stink at that. At least your blog-self seems better at that than me. I’m still marvelling at that video you made a while ago and you mentioned that two of your kids had autism and they’re just FINE thank you… Way to head it off at the pass. :]
