As explained in my previous post, we are now waiting for a confirmed day to take Miss Priss back in for a new evaluation for autism. This is such a weird emotion for me…I don’t want her to have a diagnosis but at the same time I do. I want to find out what is [...]

It’s been quite a while (ok 2 years) since I’ve posted here – life has been crazy and I’ve been incredibly busy with work designing peoples websites, logos, facebook pages and covers and then of course being a mom.

It’s been non-stop in our household. Last week was CRAZY. We had an appointment everyday. It was a little ridiculous. We started our week with our intake appointment at Bloorview (it happens to be the biggest and best children’s rehab facility in Canada). Apparently our intake interview?

A New Journey

*I’ll warn anyone with delicate sensibilities this post is going to contain bodily function talk. ********************************************************************* I’m so glad my three year old isn’t potty trained yet.

Sometimes it’s hard not to take the feelings of rejection personally from my oldest son. I know it’s the Asperger’s, but I’m only human, and sometimes it hurts. He was my first baby.
