Saying Goodbye
I do not know if this counts as an awareness post really but it is a part of our life – with DS/ASD and ABA Therapy….saying goodbye is HARD! I remember when Boston started ABA – I was terrified. I have to drop my little sweetheart off – leave him there – all day – […]
#Dailylineup
I put the above collage together for Autism Awareness Month but of course with Boston’s Duel Diagnosis I am re-sharing for Down Syndrome Awareness Month too! Also – I created a facebook album of all of his “Daily Line Up” pictures too ! (Click HERE to view them)

I knew early on that Boston had other issues going on besides Down Syndrome but to be honest I thought we were just dealing with “preemie” issues. When a kiddo comes 10 […]

Gotta start somewhere…
Boston turns six in less than a month and we are no where near being potty trained. This is actually pretty common in the autism community as well as in the Down Syndrome community. As far as kiddos with both I’ve heard mixed reviews: in one of the Facebook groups I am in there are […]
How do I explain?
I witnessed a tough moment the other day – an interaction between my kiddos…..and it broke my heart. Boston requests a drink or food with PECS (a photo of his cup or bowl.) He either pushes the button under the photo and it speaks the words for him “May I have something to drink please?” […]
Making Choices
Making choices….we all LOVE to make our own decisions…even at five years old. Now, don’t get me wrong, at five a child can’t be expected to always make good choices – nor do we let them make big, life choices. But how about choosing what dvd they are in the mood to watch or if […]
