I'm new here, but I do have one picture uploaded of my baby girl. She is 14months old and as sweet as can be! Her two big sisters are absolutely in love with her!

I was chatting with a dear friend of mine whose son has Aspersger’s. She was so excited because she FINALLY found a support group that fit her style. We started to compare notes and discovered one thing that turns us off from some parents. I hope readers will not be offended, but we are just [...]

Hi Justin,

Hi – we have lots of experience with sports. My daughter is 16 and we’ve tried them all. She really does not need any adaptions, just a bit more time. Her reflexes are a bit slow, so the coaches in soccer and basketball worked with her teammates to make sure the ball is passed a [...]

Thanks for reading about us….It certainly has been an interesting and exciting journey. Best of luck with your granddaughter..

Tommy fell on his snowboard over the weekend. He bruised his ribs, and twisted his knee. Although scared and scary, he will live to snowboard again.

This necessitated Tom going home early, with me taking him. Alex was with her team practicing, so I [...]

Hi Irene, everything with the move to Georgia went well. We became residents of Georgia on December 31st.

Oh, I was scared to death when I first found out Donna Marie had DS. It’s the unknown that is so scary. I did not know prenatally that she would have DS, but found out after she was born. I am not sure which way (knowing before hand or at birth) is [...]

Big hugs to you & Lily, my heart goes out to you both. It is infuriating to me to think that grown adults could be so cruel to achild who is so special.The thought of them not being held accountable for their actions is even more infuriating.I would definitely address my concerns with the principal [...]
