The longer Reid has been settled at his daycare, the more “parent” friends we have made through the daily pick-ups and drop-offs. I don’t shout that Reid has autism from the rooftops but I make sure that the people who should know, do. A lot of these friendships have progressed to play dates and hang… Continue reading Play dates
The concept of Santa is a lot less foreign to Reid this year. He has started to understand that there is a Santa and he will be delivering presents at some point this month. We have been “prepping” for Christmas since November 1st explaining to Reid what happens during December, for a child with ASD… Continue reading Christmas photos
Autism really sucks sometimes and it has had its part in my hiatus from the blogging world. Sometimes I just have to take a step back from everything, reevaluate and take some time to hang out with Reid. As much as I have always known parenting a special needs child is hard, things that you… Continue reading I’m back!
To say my son is energetic is an understatement, the polite educators at his daycare use the word electric to describe his everyday behaviour. His high energy boils over into all activities which makes his new IBI regime a challenge. Reid’s new IBI tutor has already told me that she has had some tough days with… Continue reading Hyperactivity and Autism

RESPS, childcare, registries, these are things we are expected to have figured out before our children are born. It is assumed that our T’s are crossed, I’s dotted and nurseries built before ringing in the second trimester. The checklist for expecting mothers is endless and the expectations paramount. But what if these things weren’t done… Continue reading What I’ve learnt
So I have waited to post this news until it was finalized because i wasn’t quite ready to jinx it, after the crazed panic I was thrown into after Reid’s first IBI tutor was “let go” we ended up in limbo. We had the funding we had been fighting for over the past year but… Continue reading Fresh IBI updates for November
Reid and I had great fun this Halloween, I hope you all did too. Here is a picture of us ready for our local autism society’s Halloween movie day yesterday. I was a deer and Reid was an astronaut kitty because who can just settle on one costume? 🙂 Also, there were some great… Continue reading Halloween fun
Halloween is an exciting time in this household because Reid is finally understanding the concept of Halloween (or Ha-ween according to my vocal little boy). As much as I am really excited to take him door-to-door getting as much candy as we can carry, I can’t shake the apprehension I have for Reid and other… Continue reading A few things to consider this Halloween
First impressions are hard for me, this isn’t because I am awkward or avoid social encounters but the look of understanding is almost immediate when people see I have a preschooler in tow. I look very young for twenty-four, so people automatically stereotype me as a product of MTV’s 16 and pregnant or Teen mom.… Continue reading Proving myself: Validation as a young mom
