I love riding in the car with the windows rolled down. It's the first thing I say when I get into a car, "want roll all four windows down." Most of the time everyone obliges, whether its mommy, daddy, Tia or my papi. It's strange because certain sounds are extremely unpleasant for me, but not the sound of rushing wind. I love the way the wind feels on my face and the way the wind makes my hair flap. I'll say, "Eric's hair is flapping in the wind." Even the sound of big trucks speeding past us doesn't bother me. I just feel calmer and happier.

My 12 year old son Kyle is not a fam of hairdressers.  He had lovely white blonde curly hair which I would trim from home.  At the age of 5, just before Grade 1, I took him to the hairdresser and he had his first haircut.  What an experience..when he came home he said to me "I hate it...it's too skinny!!  so from the day forward he came to "Mum's 24/7 hairsalon".  He has been happy for years having his hair dresser available when ever he needed her and just getting little trims here and there.  He's never been a kid who cared much for hair or how he looked.  Now he is in High School it's a different story and his HAIR STYLE is now important.  He comes to me on the weekend, after having a session in the bathroom of trying to blow dry and glue his curls straight  and says "Mum, I think it's time" I say time for what, he replies with a serious voice "It's time....for SURGERY" Staying calm I reply "Oh really, Ok, What type of surgery?" He says "HAIR SURGERY!!"  With a slight smile I say "You mean a haircut": he says "No Mum, this is serious....IT'S SURGERY"  Now Kyle has always been a person who, you guessed it, likes detail.  As I tell him I will make an appointment with our local

I don't know who this is by but my sister sent it to me and I read it when things get tough or I need a pick me up from "those days" we all have.

Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressures, and a couple by habit. This year, nearly 100,000 women will become mothers of special children.

I am a mother of a wonderful little boy who has Autism. He is the light of mine and his father's world. Though challenging we wouldn't change a single thing about him. We love his own sense of humor, his cute little personality. Being a parent of a special needs child can be rewarding in so many ways but also very difficult and the worrying? Sheesh, that never ends! And the ignorance of others... Really people? I was looking up inspirational quotes  about autism today because I like to post them on Facebook to support not only my son but others who also have children or relatives with Autism and when you click on one a few others come up as well so I was going through them and one came up saying horrible things about children with autism and their parents and not just that there was a link to a site where apparently people discuss there dislike for children with autism.... I was in complete shock and disbelief.... My son was diagnosed in 2010 and around that time I had been doing a lot of research and reading and internet searches about autism.

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Asha, and I am a Behaviour Therapist working with children with Autism in Toronto, Canada.  I absolutely love my job, and seeing the children make gains throughout their time in therapy is so rewarding!  I am currently working towards my Master’s in Education, and hope to eventually move into a role helping children with their transitions from therapy to full-time school.  With that being said, I have limited experience and knowledge from the parents perspective of challenges that may be faced when their child moves into full-time school.  I am in the middle of writing a paper for one of my classes about the perspectives from families of children with special needs in the school system.  I would love to hear from anyone that has had experience with the school system, about things that went well and things that didn’t.  I’d also love to hear about what types of services you found to be helpful, or on the contrary, what services you wish you may have had access to.  Any insight into the school experience would be wonderful! 

I look forward to hearing about your experiences!

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Mezzi preferiti di giugno sono olio e acrilico. In uno di questi versatili medie, si avvicina i suoi quadri con un atteggiamento di ricerca di libertà. Egli dice: "... ogni soggetto dipingo invoca una chiamata a un cammino che non si ferma con e nella tela. For là io vedo la libertà ..." La libertà di creare e di esprimersi in un mezzo visivo è liberatorio per lui. In questi giorni, giugno è stato affinando la sua tecnica di pittura del ritratto e cerca di catturare istantanee semplici della vita quotidiana di quasi chiunque - da agricoltori per i bambini e nuotatori ai ballerini.Peinture à l'huile

Once upon a time there was a prince who lived in fear of trains. Loud and menacing they were to him. He was doomed to live day after day in hysterical fear of these adversaries.

But one day the curse lifted and the prince no longer feared these man-made beasts. He finally saw them for what they were.......tools of transportation, metal carriages that can take you on new and exciting journeys.

So now, free from the curse, the young prince with courageous heart willingly boards trains bound for awaiting adventure.
