According to parents Rob and Tracy Lowry, thousands of people from around the globe have contacted their son in the days since his handwritten letter went live. He’s even scheduled to speak with folks from some Fortune 500 companies in the next few weeks, too. (per fox news article) This is just awesome though! I truly hope someone takes a…

Time for another one

Originally posted 2022-11-22 09:16:00. All I want to do is just UGHHHHHHHHHHHH Ever get that feeling? Where you just want to scream STOP!! Like WTF!! Yeah… well that is how I feel right now. Yesterday, when I took Dusty to his neurology appointment we were told time to replace the batteries in his VNS device. Yes, I know… it is just a simple little surgery to change the batteries. Let me explain why I just…

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…

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. There are some things I honestly want to talk about but I can’t. I am pretty sure there are some of you reading that know what I mean. You know there are some things you don’t think you could ever…

The fine line between autism and honesty

Originally posted 2016-05-30 19:18:54. Autism… A huge broad term with a lot of variations. I have always wondered if it was just Dusty or do others have the same issues with their autistic child? Dusty has gotten to the point where he will lie about the simplest of things.  It is odd when you have someone who has the cognitive and developmental impairments like Dusty has, yet can pull the wool over your eyes on another.…

Trick or Treat

Originally posted 2019-10-07 10:57:13. Trick or treating with children can be tricky at times even when they don’t have any special needs. Doing it in this day and age carries more weight than when we (myself) were growing up. I saw this on Instagram this morning and thought I would share. So if you know anyone that could use this for their kiddos for Halloween please feel free to share. Check out the Beginning blog…
