I told the monkey to come up stairs with me so that I can take a shower. When one of us is alone, we lock ourselves in my room to shower. We can’t risk the monkey wondering off somewhere. I’m still not feeling well so I’m pretty slow. I’m coming upstairs and carrying a load…
Where’s the ice cream? 🤣😂
I’ve been sick these past few days, and have just been resting at home. This morning my husband was outside working and the monkey came over to grab my hand. He took me to our front door and handed me the keys to the car. He does this every now and then. He wants to…
Happiness is…
I received a message today saying that the Jiobit is ready to be shipped, our GPS tracker for the monkey. As most of you know, our son is a runner. Whenever he can, he will make a run for it. If he’s scared, if he’s angry, even if he’s happy, he will try to make…
Reaching Out. 💙
Last week I was having a rough day. I was at work but really needed someone. I reached out to a fellow autism mom. We aren’t very close. We know each other as she is an autism activist and a leader for our autism community in our city. She messaged me to confirm some details…

You have to take the time. 💙

Perfectly said.

You guys are doing a great job!
I’m out of town this week in a conference and of course it’s hard since this means extra work on the family. I called my daughter yesterday to see who was going to pick up the monkey and she tells me, “Mom we got this. Don’t worry.” And then last night I get this text…
Bouncy house.
My sister had a house warming party today and she invited a lot of people. We arrived early because I was going to help with the set up. We also arrived early because I knew this would be difficult for my son. My sister had a bouncy house. We haven’t been to a party with…
