The Autism Life: September 2009
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. The Spaces in Between. Different. We are just plain different. Our days, our nights, our fears, and our triumphs are so very different. We might be ecstatic over a bite of a sandwich. Intoxicated by the sound of a new word or phrase by a six year old. Captivated by the child who makes his first friend at fourteen. The world turns in a very unconventional manner for us, but it turns nonetheless. Posted by Alicia Hart. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Promote Your Page Too. And sorry...

The Autism Life: November 2010
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. Of Change and Faith- Of a World of Possibility. Maybe it is the ocean—on some evolutionary scale, it pulls at the soul like a siren song. Maybe it is the tide—putting an ancient, long forgotten rhythm back into life. Maybe it is the million grains of sand—sinking feet and soothing walks putting priorities back into perspective. For whatever reason, I find solace here amid the palm trees and breezes in ways that I have not before. Posted by Alicia Hart. It seems impossible that a...

The Autism Life: Miss Lisha's rules to adventuring
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2010/09/miss-lishas-rules-to-adventuring.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. Miss Lisha's rules to adventuring. My recipe for starting an adventure. Adventure Club is not about therapy—it is about having fun and exploring the community as a group. Do NOT introduce therapy into your adventures! Adventure Club in and of itself may be therapeutic but it is in no way THERAPY. These kids have enough therapy in their lives, it’s time to allow them to let their proverbial hair down and be themselves. Parents need to be a part of the adventure in order to see j...

The Autism Life: January 2010
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. 10 Minutes to Wapner. Rainman was on the other day and of course, when it's on, I have to watch it. The little things like the strict need for routine. The 10 minutes to Wapner aspect is right on the money. I can't tell you how many times over the weekend I heard variations of, "It's 4 minutes to 4:30, time for dad to play Zelda with me." I kept waiting for Ewan to tell me he was an excellent driver. Yeah, that one elicited a few stares. PSKim Peek passed away on December 19, 20...

The Autism Life: December 2009
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Death and the Autist. Today I had to tell my children that their great grandmother had died. That is, until today. With a sheepish grin on his face, he said, "Yep.". Ewan kept looking at me funny though, a little perplexed if you will. I asked him if he was ok and he asked, "Mom, if you are so sad, why don't I see tears? Ummm, no much longer than that I had to explain. Then he smiled and perked up all the sudden and said, 'Mom! I know what will make you feel better! Rule Number...

The Autism Life
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2010/11/its-130-am-and-im-wide-awake.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. These meetings have brought out the entire spectrum of human emotion in me: from anger to terror to elation to eternal despair, I’ve felt it all in any number of meetings. Afterwards, the regret and feelings of guilt sink in and you’re left with the twin punishing thoughts of ‘Did I do enough for this child? 8217; and ‘Could I have done more? Posted by Alicia Hart.

The Autism Life: September 2010
http://communicashon.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. A tale of a boy and a sandwich. Right now I’m crying over a sandwich. I know, this sounds utterly ridiculous and most of you are wondering if “Miss Lisha has left the building,” but I can assure you there is a sound and rational reason for my tears of joy. Now before too many of you think Miss Lisha is easily entertained let me tell you a story about a boy…. And despite all of that, today MY son asked me for a salami, lettuce, cheese and tomato wrap. I made it and he ate it...
