Comfortably Numb

Originally posted 2020-02-29 08:32:10. This is where I am right now. As much as I smile to hide through the pain this is me. I will admit it. It’s like I am almost not even feeling things the way I would normally. Am I depressed? Maybe so. I am not suicidal even though I will admit that after my momma’s passing all I wanted to do was be with her. The moment she passed I…

Fav foods…

Originally posted 2019-02-06 08:24:03. This kid of mine ❤’s his burritos. Anyone else’s autistic child or autistic adult have a massive love for burritos? He got a California burrito – my husband says because he saw it had french fries in the description. His main menu consists of hot dogs, burritos, more hot dogs more burritos… I mean he does eat other foods but for the most part that is what he asks for. Maybe…

Ultrasound treatment for Epilepsy

Originally posted 2019-01-31 09:10:18. In a first-in-world clinical trial, researchers at The Ohio State University College of Medicine are studying how well focused ultrasound surgery works in adults with a specific type of epilepsy whose seizures are not controlled by medication. Up to 10 adults with the “medically refractory lobe focal onset” type of epilepsy will be enrolled in this study. The technique uses magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound through an intact skull to reach tissue deep in the brain…

Another day of parenting

Originally posted 2014-10-14 19:30:12. One of my biggest struggles with my son is his ability to understand that even though he is 21 years old he doesn’t have the mind of a 21 year old. He thinks because he is 21 he should be able to do as he pleases. He is able to see others like his sister who is able to do things that he isn’t. It is a constant struggle with him…

Mother’s Day

Originally posted 2018-05-15 13:47:50. Forgot to share. Not sure when my husband managed to get Dusty to pick one out… but then again he probably just picked one out from Dusty’s point of view. Hope all my mother’s had a good one! Only thing we’d change on this card would be sports, just replacing it with food. Better yet, all 3 would likley be food.

Autism and what it is in my home

Originally posted 2014-09-05 15:12:24. I recently watched the movie Rainman with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. I believe this was the first of its kind to show autism on this platform. It showed just how many people even those in the medical field were not aware of it and how much we didn’t know. As I watched it I say so many similarities in Dustin Hoffman’s character, who had autism. Even though it is now…

Why Routine Is So Important to Many Autistic People

Originally posted 2019-01-28 07:33:10. Routine in my house is a must. There are days when I want something other than the same old routine. I want to get up on a whim and just ride to the water or somewhere other than behind these walls…. Maintaining a healthy routine can be an essential aspect of daily living if you’re on the autistic spectrum. It can lead to stability and make life more bearable, but also…

Addictions

Originally posted 2014-07-23 18:00:12. I have only been addicted to one thing in my life (other than my husband), cigarettes. After the last time I was raped in 98′ or 99 (I forget what year it was) someone gave me a cigarette and that was it from there. I had started smoking. Growing up I was always the one against smoking. Always trying to get others around me to stop, especially my mother. I needed…

July 7th 2014

Originally posted 2014-07-07 18:33:37. You know there are days when I just want to give it all up and others that I can’t get enough. The life I was given I sure has its meanings. I just for once would like not to struggle…just once. I realize there are so many people who have been dealt a bad hand and others don’t even use their own. Some that think mommy and daddy are they forever…
