When one of these pearls of wisdom comes from a family member.....oh yeah, I went down that road.....Last year we stayed home from Thanksgiving festivities and I am strongly considering it yet again this year. We did a small meal at home and did themed activities the boys could enjoy rather than deal with the torture for everyone involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362113364349699326.post-90436984237214881982014-04-14T13:27:54.106-04:002014-04-14T13:27:54.106-04:00Wow - very powerful article.

I must say that I have developed a look that I give people who respond to me with stupid answers when they find out my daughter has autism. It kind of combines that look mom gave me when I was a kid and said something I shouldn't with the look a teacher gives a child who isn't behaving appropriately. I have found that it works wonders when accompanied by a moment of complete silence, followed by changing the subject. I have found that most of these people avoid the subject entirely after that (which is fine with me)<br /><br />Can I share my website with you? www.asd-dr.com is a site I created to help parents with kids on the spectrum find the services and support they need in their local area. I would love for you (as an experienced blogger) to take a look and let me know what you think.

What percenta...Would you mind if I pose a question?<br />What percentage/ratio would you give to the answers to the question, What does life of an autistic person consist of?<br />A. Struggle with his/her autism, whether willingly or compelled.<br />B. Finding ways to live with autism (which I mean to oppose to struggle).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285993874597886245noreply@blogger.com
