I got a phone call a couple weeks ago.  It only took a few seconds for the caller to begin to cry.  If I tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone?  Of course, I said.  I think my daughter has autism, she sobbed.  I could feel her pain through the phone, and [...]]]></description>

Taya: Is is scary or cool?
Parx: Cool.
Taya (gets up to go outside): Ok.
Parx (seeing that she isn&#8217;t afraid): Actually, it&#8217;s scary.
Taya (sitting back down): So&#8230;.not going out then?

This year we spent spring break in Arizona.  We decided to take a few days to drive to California and take the kids to Disneyland.  Now, to say we&#8217;re not Disneyland amateurs would be an understatement.  We&#8217;ve been more than a few times, but this was a daunting trip.  How would Tyus handle the crowds, [...]]]></description>

There are (a lot of) days when I think that having a son with autism is really not that big of a deal.  I have wondered, on more than one occasion, if it&#8217;s fair that the government gives us a Disability Tax Credit each month.  There are many times, when his brother and sister are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I am learning a lot about acceptance lately.  I thought I had it pretty much under control.  I feel like I have really mastered the acceptance of autism.  I love my kid no matter what you label him.  Acceptance of my other children&#8217;s labels was equally simple- ok, my daughter is clumsy and emotional (pretty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re a mom there is always a nagging feeling that you could be doing a better job.  You should spend more time with the kids. Play more, work less.  Yesterday as I watched my two littlest people play together at the craft table I had an epiphany &#8211; sometimes less is more.

Taya is in ballet and jazz this year.  She enjoys it, and I enjoy seeing her in her cute little outfit with her new friends.  I was watching her one weekend.  She was paying attention and following directions.  She was doing well; learning and behaving.  Then, toward the end of class as they often do, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always loved a good puzzle.  There&#8217;s something about the slow, methodic process of putting a picture together out of chaos that appeals to me.  The symbol for autism is a multi-coloured puzzle piece, and it seems incredibly appropriate.
When I first heard the word autism in reference to my son, I shrugged it off. [...]]]></description>
