See what Aspie Family is up to: Are we traveling? Struggling with kids? Hanging at a campground? We share our stories.
I wrote previously about Aspie Teen wanting to go back to school and try to attend a regular High School. That idea has already fallen by the way side, and I cannot say that I am upset about it either. After talking to the school district and the staff at …
Anticipating the pending birth of baby boy #4 here in Aspie House, I thought I would share the Tantrum Tot’s birth story…so as promised here goes… “When you get settled, we’ll get your Pitocin drip started,” the nurse said… We arrived at McLeod Medical Center at eleven o’clock, after a …
