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. 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…

What would you do?

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.

The last 24 hours
Originally posted 2021-01-13 09:28:48. The day started like any other. I try not to let Dusty know he has an appointment because he will not sleep and get up at the butt crack of dawn. He had an appointment at his neurologist’s office but not with the neurologist. He was seeing the doctor who handles his VNS (vagal nerve stimulator). They were checking the battery and other information that it holds. He had it surgically…

Benefits of a Weighted Blanket
Originally posted 2019-09-15 20:33:45. Youâve probably heard the term âweighted blanketâ many times and might have thought, âitâs just a heavy blanket, right?â. Though you wouldnât be wrong, as weighted blankets do indeed have a weight to them, they are far more than simply a heavier option to cover up with. Studies show that weighted blankets can be beneficial for reducing stress and anxiety, and testimonials from owners who have used them for years prove that curling up under…
