Yeah....we think she's cute too! LOL!! She and her friends worked hard for a VERY long time this year to get that kind of money together. They did roller-skate-a-thons, collected bottles (worth 5cents a piece in NY), etc... It is simply amazing what kids can accomplish when you don't ever tell...

Today is a day to celebrate my NT child. She and her friends raised 2200 dollars for Special Olympics and volunteered at our local event today. I'm so proud of her!!!! She's the one in the pink jacket!

Here is my take.... I have a 14 year old son, a 12 year old daughter, a 4 year old daughter and one on the way. I got divorced between the older and younger and was left with a BOATLOAD of bad debt and no child support. There is no earthly way I can pay for college. My kids know that they will...

We always stay at the Breakers Resort. When I actually lived in Myrtle Beach, I used to work there. The rooms are very nice. I'llpost a link to my photos from last July. They have a bunch of pools and a lazy river, plus the obvious beach. They are located at 21st Ave.North (don't stay at the...

Well, my son played in his very first lacrosse game with the school team today. He has played on leagues before but never made the team until this year. He only got to play a couple of minutes at the end when the coach threw the 2nd stringers on because we were down by 2 and would lose anyway...

I am a nail biter when I don't have acryllics. I have done it since I was old enough to get my hands in my mouth. I can clearly tell you there is NOTHING that you could say or dip my hands in that will get me to stop. It's a deeply ingrained nervous habit. It relieves anxiety to him, much like...

I frequently search all over the house for my sunglasses just to discover them on top of my head.... that's like a once a week occurance here. Don't know why I don't just check there first!

I have to admit that I was very greatful to find out that this child is a girl. I fully realize that girls are affected by autism as well as boys, but my other 2 girls are typical and I am just praying that this one is too...sometimes I feel guilty for feeling that way. I love my son just as...

I have not waited at a stop sign for the light to change, but I have caught myself signalling a turn when going around a bend recently...I blame it on pregnant brain! LOL!!! I can't seem to keep track of my cell phone anymore either!! very sad...I may have to staple it to my forehead...

Just wanted to comment on the handwriting...my son is 14 and going into high school. His handwriting is no better than your DD's. I'll see if I can find a sample. Thank goodness for computers and the fact that he can type about 150 WPM! LOL!!! Here is a sample of him filling out paperwork for...

My 14 year old still doesn't do restaurants well. He eats very quickly and then starts complaining that he wants to leave. He'll keep it up until you WANT to leave, whether you've finished eating or not!!! The only restaurant we've found that he'll sit in quietly is a Japanese steakhouse...

Cheeze-Its!!! That is just too funny!!!!

Hi fellow Lake Georgians...I got Spring Spin tickets for fairly cheap, but we generally don't upgrade to season passes. My big kids are gone for most of the summer to camp, and I'm pregnant and don't feel like explaining to the 4 year old why I can't bring her on rides....

My older kids are attending camp for their 4th year this summer. They go for 2 weeks and stay in cabins with bunks. They are not allowed food of any kind. In addition to all the other things people have mentioned, remember to send a small notebook or address book so they can collect addys and...

I don't think it's tacky to have a shower for subsequent children. I think every baby deserves to be celebrated. I know some people don't feel that way, though... :confused3 My best friend is throwing me a shower for my 4th baby in two weeks. In my defense, My other kids are 14,12, and almost...

I thought I'd chime in here with a different perspective because my DS is 14, so BTDT!!! First off, my best advice is to limit electronics ALL THE TIME. Kids are so immersed in electronics that they don't form real relationships anymore. It's not so bad at 7, but by 10-12, it's scary to...

Just happened to click on this thread by accident and wanted to tell you that your DD, and her prom dress, are beautiful!!! Such a far cry from the poofy, lacy things we wore that resembled our living room curtains!!!

I'm so excited! The weather is beautiful here today and we decided to go to the Drive In movies tonight!! We are going to see How to Train Your Dragon and Date Night! The best thing is that you can bring your own food and drinks, and contain your spectrum child's "personality quirks" within...

I think the biggest problem with being splashed is that it is extremely difficult to tell what is a water stain and what is him just being rude! And most people outside the family just assume rude. :( Of course my ex reinforces that by telling everyone that my son acts the way he does because...

I've totally stolen the line about my son being "splashed" by autism. It describes him exactly! If you just met him, you might not know something was wrong until later. A lot of people say that they had no idea until I tell them....until they see him fussing with shoelaces for 45 minutes, or...
