Having an autistic child is not the end of the world--far from it. It is my hope that through this blog, at least a handful of people will get to understand that. My child is amazing, she brings us tremendous joy. We have good days & bad days, but we CHOOSE to focus on the good. Our belief is that by loving our daughter, giving her the most comfortable environment we can, and by most of all accepting her differences, she will continue to blossom--in her OWN way.

Happy New Year! (Yes...I am still here...)

My apologies for having fallen off the map here.  I've had some personal issues going on, and finding the time and energy, let alone the thought process, to blog has been nearly impossible.  It is my hope to be back up and running (well, writing!) at some point down the road.  I am going to make a true attempt at reading my fellow blogger's pieces (as I've not done so lately and I miss reading all you have to say!).  


I want to wish everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year.  It is my hope that 2009 brings about great change for autistics, change that leads to acceptance and services and open minds.  

Take care,
S.L.

Glad to see you back in the saddle. Strange how real life takes over sometimes.

Wishing you and yours a thoroughly splendiferous 2009 from me and mine.

As you are very well aware, the prevalence of children being diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is increasing at an alarming rate. We would appreciate your assistance in helping us try to identify if the use of epidural analgesia/anesthesia and Pitocin during childbirth have any association with the development of autism.

If you are willing to participate in a survey questionnaire, please email Elaine DeLack, RN at elaine@edmsllc.com and the questionnaire will be emailed to you for your completion.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this research.

sa vedem daca merge!

Sper sa functioneze!

Cred ca am luat-o si eu razna…. am inceput sa cred in prostii!

TUTUROR Va spun - mi s-a parut amuzant, am facut testul si m-au sunat
inainte sa termin de povestit!! S-a implinit ceva neasteptat. Sa vi se
implineasca si voua ceea ce va doriti!

Oameni buni……l-am facut si………….jur ca……….dorinta mi
s-a implinit in 15 minute.

Inca ma mai mir. Sa joci nu costa nimic.

SUERTE

Noroc!

Vraja Vrajitorie

Intradevar functioneaza. Acum cateva luni am primit un e-mail asemanator
cu acesta pe care vi-l trimit si am urmat instructiunile. A doua zi mi
s-a implinit dorinta si era ceva care nu se putea intampla accidental,
adica era o dorinta aproape imposibila….. si s-a implinit. Asa ca acum
va trimit ce am primit ca sa incercati si voi. Noroc!

Va asigur ca e adevarat pentru ca am avut rezultate in mai putin de o
ora. Nu costa sa incercati…Puteti incerca si vedeti, chiar daca unii
spun “nu cred in vrajitoare, dar “se stiu”. Pune-ti o dorinta…si vezi
ce sa va intampla…Incepe sa te gandesti la ceva ce-ti doresti cu
adevarat pentru ca functioneaza…

Persoana care mi-a trimis acest mesaj mi-a zis ca dorinta i-a fost
indeplinita la 10 minute dupa ce a citit mesajul si atunci m-am gandit
sa-l trimit. Vrajitoarele iti vor implini o dorinta!!!

Pune-ti dorinta cand se termina numaratoarea inversa!!!

10…

*****Pune-ti dorinta********

Trimite acest mesaj la10 persoane in decurs de o ora. Daca-l trimiti,
dorinta ta se va realiza. Daca nu-l trimiti, se va intampla exact
inversul dorintei tale…….. dupa aceea imi spui ce s-a intamplat.
