So perfectly explained.
For so man...Wow just wow!! So perfectly explained.<br /><br />For so many years I’ve felt deep down I was making the ‘right’ parenting decisions, but couldn’t quite find the way to make others understand why the dishes weren’t done, the house was messy or the lawn wasn’t mowed..<br /><br />Every hour of every day I’m faced with a so called ‘choice’. Vacuum or pile up mattresses so my daughter can meet her SPD needs by rolling....weed the garden or build a cubby for my daughter, de-clutter or take my daughter to the playground, mow the lawn/mop the kitchen or bounce on a trampoline with my daughter?<br /><br />Other aspects of life as a husband and father have similar responsibilities too...talking with my son for 30 minutes about an emotional or passionate topic he is involved in, or folding the laundry...helping my CFS suffering wife make dinner or working for another hour?<br /><br />I ‘chose’ to fold laundry once and my son looked depressed the next day. I ‘chose’ to work for an extra hour once and my wife feinted in the kitchen. I ‘chose’ to mow the lawn once and the grass grew straight back, but my daughter won’t forget the hyperventilating, crying and frustration she went through that night.<br /><br />These are not the shoes we chose to walk in, this is the path we have been presented with. We do have ‘choices’...responsible ones and irresponsible ones.<br /><br />Thanks for this great article 👍Tony Bournonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189699157039540848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221521936511907324.post-30364558371343680662019-09-10T12:48:12.302-07:002019-09-10T12:48:12.302-07:00HOW I WAS CURED TOTALLY FROM AUTISM
I had my first...HOW I WAS CURED TOTALLY FROM AUTISM<br />I had my first attack of (AUTISM) when I was a kid, I wasn't diagnosed until 27 years later when I was totally experiencing speech delay. It was so terrifying that I began dropping things and losing sensitivity to sounds, having severe fatigue and muscle weakness. A horrible poor eyes contact began. I sometimes can't walk straight and fall onto walls and I get leaning disability, the English medications i used proved abortive. i was so frustrated that i had to contact My neurologist,he told me about a new RRMS (relapsing-remitting MS) drug which was only in its trial stage, CAMPATH. I started the chemo-type treatment and some prescribed drugs like: RISPERDAL, EFFEXOR XR, GEODON and MEMANTINE. which resulted in 1st seizure of my life, thereby adding more salt to my injury. As a result to proffer solution to my problems, i started going online in search for a cure, i came across a testimony of a woman who got her son cure through HERBAL MEDICATION, at first, i doubted because of the misconception that autism can not be cured. But i later contacted the Doctor through the email provided, and I used his Herbal product, after 1 month of use, I noticed tremendous improvement in my health, 5 months after, I can proudly say, I've been totally cured by Dr.williams Herbal Medication from AUTISM..., If you have the same health issue, you may contact him for a total change of story, Via: drwilliams098675@gmail.com . I believe your predicament will be a thing of the past just like mineShelley Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175729490728813759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221521936511907324.post-74964146414882841502018-07-13T22:53:20.205-07:002018-07-13T22:53:20.205-07:00So well written!

I get tired of the condescending attitude towards us too at times because it is often tough to understand that our actual survival needs are not being met when we are overwhelmed and feeling unsafe. Keeping strong boundaries for our family has been very important:)Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221521936511907324.post-9362596030067087542014-06-10T12:55:58.501-07:002014-06-10T12:55:58.501-07:00I'm glad to hear there are other moms who take...I'm glad to hear there are other moms who take parenting a special-needs child seriously. I felt the same way about going to 4 hours of therapy a week with my autistic son. I didn't do it because it was 'in' or 'cool' or because we had money to burn (we didn't). I did it and sacrificed a lot of my life to make sure his is the best possible life he can have.

Meeting our children's sensory needs is part of our responsibilities as a parent, and certainly rates higher than the lawn getting mowed in a timely manner. I also liked your comment about the "cost" versus "benefits" of staying at the pool past the tipping point. Sounds like you are tuned into to your kiddos and their needs. Keep it up, Mama!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493244364719871858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221521936511907324.post-59905713606324819002014-06-10T08:57:31.598-07:002014-06-10T08:57:31.598-07:00Thank you for this.

It's purpose is to be an easy-access doorway for parents of autistic kids to the words of autistic bloggers/autistic parents/neurodiversity parents.<br /><br />Thank you very much for your words and for sharing your experience.

I am SO ANGRY that in any way you should feel the need to justify yourself to ANYONE when it is clear to someone who knows the tiniest bit about you and yours that you are a warrior. <br />A lot of this information is super helpful in the parenting arsenal, sure, and I do thank you for that...but will people who make such comments about "choice" and "lawns" even benefit? No matter -- the rest of us will!<br />Love, Full Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221521936511907324.post-83071691885633587142014-06-10T07:19:57.155-07:002014-06-10T07:19:57.155-07:00Thank you for this - it's a terrific explanati...Thank you for this - it's a terrific explanation for why I moved into a building that has a pool and that this wasn't a "decadent" choice on my part but one based on need. Something else I'd like to add - our kids' sensory needs are there all year round. Where the boys and I live in Canada it's typically incredibly cold in winter and incredibly hot in the summer. When you don't drive and your children are sensitive when it comes to extreme temperatures, having an all-weather sensory activity that's easily accessible is pretty close to being vital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
