Thanksgiving weekend is usually DC’s big step into the Christmas Season. We normally go away for Thanksgiving and the weekend after. Once Thanksgiving Day is officially over, Friday and Saturday are usually all about Christmas. There are a few standard stops that we make each year, one being the Santa Express or the North Pole […]
DC has his list for Santa posted on the refrigerator: Bandaids 18 Markers White Paper A Christmas Story Live DVD Dolls We are away for the Thanksgiving weekend. As always, on the day after Thanksgiving, we visit his favorite shops in the area. In one shop, DC asked to buy markers. We have been trying […]
I wrote the post below six years ago. If I were keeping track, I would have to imagine that “Sorry” would most certainly show up in the top 5 on the list of DC’s most used words. Some of the time, he IS sorry for something or another, but as I have said and written […]
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 […]

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 came across a meme a few weeks ago. I do not even remember where I saw it, but I did see it more than once. It read (paraphrasing): Please share if you don’t mind having a LGBTQ+ person in your family…. If you don’t mind If you don’t mind? I imagine all were posted […]
