Autism, ADHD – have you heard?

Originally posted 2022-11-15 15:20:42. Now first off let me say this, I am not for or against this lawsuit or any for that matter. I saw a partial commercial on tv while watching the witness statements in the Darrell Brooks sentencing. If you haven’t heard of this then that is for an entirely different post. Now, to the point of my post. On a commercial break I was only able to see a portion of…

Questions

Originally posted 2019-10-16 07:00:26. I am speaking to parents of special needs children/adults. To the parents who are with their kids and pretty much your life revolves around their care.

My daughter has her life. What if…

Title? Think I forgot it too…

Originally posted 2016-08-03 20:48:44. Through my years I have gone through things, done things, put myself in situations I shouldn’t have, gone places I shouldn’t have, yet some things I wish I could speak on.

So if you know anyone that could use this for their kiddos for Halloween please feel free to share. Check out the Beginning blog…

What would you do?

Originally posted 2019-09-25 19:29:23. Someone pulled on side of road next to my house while Dusty was outside with Saoirse. A friend that lives in our neighborhood, Elizabeth, called me as she passed them.  The person walked up to Dusty. I run outside and tell Dusty to come here.I ask him what the person said to him. He said the guy asked him if he wanted poop bags for the dog. I know it may…

Flashback Friday 

Originally posted 2018-03-10 12:22:52. This was in August of 2013 after my son had surgery on his face,jaw,etc… This was my mom and my stepfather walking with him down the hallway at UNC hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. My momma was always, and I stress always lol spoiling him. But I guess that’s what grandmother’s do. I remember my grandmother, my mom’s mom, fussing at my mom because she wouldn’t let me have anymore…
