This is going to be one of those hodge-podge kind of posts. There’s a lot going on around here.
First of all, I was without a car for a little over a week. Not because there was anything wrong with my car, of course. It was my son – the guy with Asperger’s – who had [...]

Apartments and Asperger’s
Posted in Asperger's Syndrome, Day to day, Family, General, Life on June 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My 27 year old son has Asperger’s Syndrome. If you’re familiar with the disorder, you know that many adults with Asperger’s still live at home or in group home settings. It isn’t that they aren’t intelligent or capable of taking care of themselves most of the time. It’s that they can’t navigate the neurotypical world [...]

I have two children, so I qualify to celebrate Mother’s Day. But most recent years, I’ve celebrated quietly with my husband.
I have a daughter who will be 30 in a month and a son who is 27. My son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, still lives at home – though we are working on that with [...]

My son has reached the point where, at 27 years old, he wants to move out of our house – Asperger’s or not. Gratefully, the group Asperger’s Assn of New England (AANE) has a new program to assist adult Aspies with major life decisions. My son has met with a counselor of sorts on a [...]

What on earth could you have been thinking when you wrote what you did in your book? Could you really not have known what kind of response there would be – especially if you have dear, old friends who have a child with autism? Or was it your hope to gain added book sales from [...]
Rat Race, Here I Come!

What do you think of when you think of the ideal vacation? I personally think of sitting in a comfortable chair, with a terrific view, reading a great book. This one is possible for me. The second thought I have is hiking through a beautiful forest or meadow to emerge at some fabulous vista, where [...]
The Surf Hotel on Block Island

My husband surprised me this past weekend with a weekend getaway. He had planned to leave Friday night, but the weather was not really pleasant. So he decided that we would leave Saturday morning and stay overnight one night instead of two.
Our first stop Saturday was at the Christmas Tree Shop in Warwick, RI. This [...]

We leave tomorrow morning for 17 days on the road. We’ll be driving slowly through Gettysburg, Shenandoah National Park and on to Nashville. Then we’ll be going to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mtns before heading home. We’ll stop for a few days in Lancaster County, PA before our final drive back to MA. This trip, [...]
Gearing Up for May

I’ve been trying to “keep a low profile” and eat properly after my “imaginary” weight loss surgery. I think it’s been going well. In the weeks since I received the devastating news that my surgery was no longer covered under my insurance plan, I have lost about 13 pounds. Not bad. I’m afraid May will [...]
Energy Crisis
Posted in Asperger's Syndrome, Day to day, Family, Fibromyalgia, General, Health, Life on February 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
No, not the global energy crisis. Mine! I am missing two kinds of energy – mental and physical. I often have one or the other missing – fibromyalgia will do that to you. But not often are they both missing at the same time.
The physical energy seems to be in short supply rather than having [...]
