Autism sensory overload

By Carter Family | August 1, 2025 by Carter Family

Originally posted 2017-07-18 11:18:14. “Imagine feeling so overloaded that you just couldn’t cope.” That’s the situation the U.K.’s National Autistic Society is exploring in a new virtual reality film that lets viewers experience what sensory overload feels like for people with autism spectrum disorder. “Imagine the difference it would make if someone showed you a little kindness,” the Society writes on their website. “Rather than judging you as a naughty kid having a meltdown, or a ‘weirdo’ flapping their hands.” Fostering kindness and understanding is the goal of…

NO, I REALLY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO – WORDS FROM A MILITARY SPOUSE As my military husband and I visited home for the holidays, I remember being so happy about getting this break. However, we couldn’t help but get those same questions. “When will you guys be done with the military?” http://www.semidelicatebalance.com/2016/01/24/2620/

By Carter Family | July 23, 2025 by Carter Family

Originally posted 2019-02-16 18:29:30. Can someone explain to me why this hurts so freaking much?! I watched the man who I share his DNA, who may not have been a father but he was my father. Then 7 months or so later have to watch my mother, the woman who brought me into this world, carried my through this world in so many different ways. Who I miss more than life itself. I want to…

Duke is 15?!

By Carter Family | July 23, 2025July 23, 2025 by Carter Family

Had to take Duke to the vet today and didn’t realize just how old he is. He is 15 years old! That is crazy! But then again his dad was almost 20 when he passed so get it’s possible. He is starting to do the things Max was doing and then he will snap at you. I don’t know if the snapping at you is aggression or what but with the grandbabies, I don’t want…

As some of you may know we now have 3 granddaughters. I think they were trying endlessly for a boy. Well she found out she was pregnant, again. My best friend automatically said, “it’ a boy” I am not sure what made her think right away that it was a boy. But it worked! It is a boy!! FINALLY! I told the doc the day we went in for an ultrasound could he just snip…

Originally posted 2023-06-19 10:40:55. We have been trying to find the right hand soap for our son for the longest now. We have tried the Dial pump hand soap, which he used extremely fast. Then we tried some of the other of brand ones which he just didn’t get his hands clean. One we tried from Sam’s Club was the Safeguard pump hand soap. It wasn’t bad it just seems to get used up quicker.…

My Soul

By Carter Family | June 14, 2025June 14, 2025 by Carter Family

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…
