I saw a post a while back from my friend over at Our Adventures with Riley (the actual post can be found below) and thought what a great idea this would have been back when DC had such huge issues with wearing a belt. Not only did he just not like wearing them but he […]
DC does not like the rain. He just does not. When he was younger, it was just the rain he did not like but now, in his mind – rain leads to storms so there is no tolerating the rain at all any more. I remember taking him to a birthday party when he […]
DC was always a big fan of Cheerios. He eats them every day for breakfast and sometimes just as a snack. His ‘weekday’ breakfast consists of dry Cheerios (no milk, ever), a banana (you knew that), an apple, a glass of orange juice and a glass of water. Over the last few months or […]
As you may or may not know, DC, Doug and I are going on a Star Trek Cruise in March. To make most trips more interesting for DC, I always try to come up with something that he likes and relate it to the thing we are going to do. (See: The Everything is Related […]
I have been badly neglecting this blog lately so I thought I would post a “refresher” for those who may be new here and to my Facebook page. Why do I write? I never really intended to write a blog. My blogging began one day when I was writing an extremely long response to a […]
I normally do not cross-post from our EUReKA site but this episode of the podcast was certainly autism-heavy so I decided to post it here as well. I have always loved the SyFy Channel original series, EUReKA (obviously) and as I said during our first episode, this would not be a podcast about autism, but…. […]

I know I have said in one post or another that there is always progress. Maybe not the progress he made when he was younger, but there is always something. It may be just a little thing but it is always cause for celebration. Here is one: Yesterday, DC attended his Camp Spring Picnic. He […]
If you have been around here long enough, you know that DC dreads Sunscreen and Bug Spray season. He puts up with it some days more than others. Come April or May each year, his job switches from indoors making dog biscuits to outdoors and the greenhouse. He loves the greenhouse, but the downside of […]
Allergy season was simply brutal last spring and fortunately I have not been hit too badly so far and DC almost not at all (knock wood) Last year I was not so lucky. When they did hit me I just was not expecting it so I did not prepare in advance. Yes, it was […]
