Our Journey On The Spectrum: To Miles' Teachers...
http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2016/08/to-miles-teachers.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Wednesday, August 31, 2016. Chase's letters/notes are easy to write. Obvious. He is non-verbal, so there are lots of things to explain regarding his iPad, behaviors, non-verbal cues, wants, needs, strengths, weaknesses, etc. With Miles it's not so black and white. So to Miles's teacher. He spent the summer going to super hero and soccer camps, never missing a beat, and always asking/begging to know when it would be time to go back to school. He LOVES school! Miles knows pain,...

Our Journey On The Spectrum: Shitty Ole Autism
http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2016/04/shitty-ole-autism.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Thursday, April 7, 2016. I usually don't write about the shitty parts of Autism. And I'll preface this post by saying that I am not writing this now to get sympathy or a pat on the back. I am simply writing this to be real. Autism is not all "Rain Man" and brilliant minds trapped inside quirky little kids with odd behaviors. There are a lot of shitty days. Literally! Is it a behavioral/attention-seeking thing? Is it an allergy? Is it the homeopathy we are doing? That lasted a...

Our Journey On The Spectrum: To Miles
http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2015/02/to-miles.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Sunday, February 22, 2015. I spend most of my time writing about Chase and therapies and diets and all things Autism related, but this past week "snowed/iced in" has gotten me thinking about Miles. Albeit whiney and attention craving (what 2 1/2 year old isn't? I've realized what all he has to put up with and how mature beyond his age he really is.so this post is for you Miles! This was all before the reality of Autism crept in to our lives. It has gotten better. Chase ha...

Our Journey On The Spectrum: Thank You 2014, Hello 2015!
http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2015/01/thank-you-2014-hello-2015.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Thank You 2014, Hello 2015! I started this post right before Thanksgiving, as I was reflecting back on the past year. As life does, things got crazy and busy and I never had time to sit down and finish this post. So as the new year begins, reflecting back on 2014, not much has changed from my initial post. Because I'll be honest.2 1/2 year olds can PUSH YOUR BUTTONS in a way no other human has ever done before! Since I initially wrote this, after mu...

So please stop reading now if you don't want to know! I made a last minute decision this afternoon to send Miles to Jackson to stay ...

http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2014/01/potty-training-is-for-birds.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Monday, January 6, 2014. Potty Training is For The Birds! Today we started Potty Training Boot Camp. With the help of BCA staff. I sent Chase to school in big boy underwear at 12:45pm today and he spent the whole 3 hours he was there in the bathroom. Sounds harsh but this is how they do it with everyone! They have a certain " potty training protocol. That they use, and that they swear by! I was so excited! Because they modified Phase 1 a little bit they wanted me to continue ...

Our Journey On The Spectrum: On The Fence
http://maggieandchase.blogspot.com/2015/02/on-fence.html
Our Journey On The Spectrum. Thursday, February 5, 2015. This all started with all these pro-vaccine/anti-vaccine articles and facebook rants that keep popping up in my news feeds. I guess I'm adding another one to that list. I get it though.the government and media are really good at fear-mongering. They pick a topic of the day/week/month and continue to find and write articles to share with the general public to get them all riled up. Congrats.it has worked! I'm tired of the blanket statements. It is s...
