Dear Autism

Dear Autism,

I never suspected that you and I would have a relationship. I never thought I would know you so well. No matter how well I know you, you always surprise me. Sometimes it's a bad surprise, a good punch in the gut. And other times, the surprise is nothing short of a miracle.

Every time I think I have you figured out, when I think I have a good strategy in place, just when I think I know what to expect, you change your game without any notice. I can never be comfortable in your presence.

You don't play fair. You are known for throwing curve balls. There are no rules playing with you. I can never be totally comfortable because I know you are there. I never really know what's up or what to expect. I try to be as ready as I can. I always have to have my game face on.

I appreciate the good qualities that you have brought. I do not appreciate the bad ones and I get angry at you for making things so difficult for my family. There are many times when things that should be easy and simple are horrible and difficult because of you. You have made the smallest things at times impossible. On the other hand, you have made me appreciate the small things and celebrate the tiny successes because I now know that they can be the most joyous.

As you know, over the past two years our relationship changes by the minute. Sometimes I'm mad at you, sometimes I absolutely despise you, sometimes I accept your uninvited presence, and sometimes I actually even like you.

I understand that my feelings on this will continue to change and cycle just as everything here does. I have been on a rollercoaster of emotions with you. You have brought me to tears in an instant, broken my heart, made me the happiest and the saddest person on the planet, all at the same time.

There will always be good days and bad days. I will never be able to trust you since you are so unpredictable. Our relationship will probably always change day to day. However, I am sure we will never be besties.

From,
Mommy

SARAH'S WORLD GUEST POSTING: Please read and share!!! Thank You!!!

Written By Sarah Hernandez
Sarah’s World, http://sarahsworld57.yolasite.com/ will be hosting fundraisers for the next few months for two very special people in my family. 
The first my brother, Isaac Candelario who was wrongfully convicted to 8 years in prison for abusing his back than 4 month old daughter. My brother is nothing, but a loving and caring father who is sick to his stomach for what he is going through.
The second very special person is my niece, Isanna. Isanna was born with a medical condition called External hydrocephalus. External hydrocephalus (EH) is a condition in which infants with rapidly enlarging heads are found to have a CT scan that shows widening of the subarachnoid space with mild or no ventricular dilation. Due to this Diagnosis authorities assumed that she was a victim of SBS (Shaken Baby Syndrome).
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a serious syndrome, there are a lot of people being wrongfully accused of SBS. Out of 100% of people who are accused 5% of cases are "Wrongfully" accused and my brother Isaac fell into that percentage. After learning the facts of so many wrongfully accused I am determined to raise awareness about the misdiagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome .

To understand more of the story please go to>>>>

~Alzheimer's Walk 2013~

Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.



I'm walking to help reclaim the future for millions. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's I'm committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer research care and support.

Currently more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.

I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into prevention treatments and a cure for Alzheimer's. For the millions already affected by the disease the Association offers care education support and resources in communities nationwide.

Thank you for joining our movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts here.


Please Visit my page to donate, any amount helps!

Tips for Avoiding Meltdowns In Public

Here are some tips to avoid meltdowns in public.
  1. Have a plan and stick to it. Make sure you know what actions you will take in case things go awry and stick with it. If you have to leave the store, do so. It may not be the most convenient choice, but it’s the best choice for you and your child.
  2. Discuss the outing before you go. Talking, writing, or drawing what you will do will help your child know what to expect. If your child can make a list and check it off, that can be even more helpful. That way they know the plan and will lessen their anxiety. If you are going to the grocery store, let your child know if they can or cannot have a treat today. However, it can be rewarding to let them choose between 2 cereals you approve.
  3. Be prepared. If you know your child needs a communication device, drink, snack, etc for the outing do not forget it.

It may be helpful to have your child earn a reward for good behavior when they get home. This can be done verbally or by having a pad and paper around indicating how many stars they need and how many have been earned.
