She’s Growing Up: A Change of Plans

by | Apr 19, 2016

I “met” Monica Bruno in a blogging group that had nothing to do with autism. Autism only came up because we were talking about shared pinterest boards or something. She said that, like me, she also had a child with autism. It wasn’t a large group. I...

Haircut Hell: A Special Thanks to a Stranger

“You’re doing WHAT?!” my husband asked me as he headed off to work. I repeated that I was taking all three kids to get their hair cut. He looked at me like I was insane. If you don’t know about my family, getting haircuts probably seems like no...

One More Time: The Story that Needs to be Told

When my son Christopher was first diagnosed with autism, I delved into online research. Cathy Jameson was a name I came across again and again, courageously sharing the story of her son Ronan’s regression into autism and her family’s journey. Her writing...

The Heart of His Sister

Today is National Siblings Day. All siblings are special people, but the siblings of those affected by autism are pretty amazing. They are often given more responsibility and less attention than if they didn’t have autism in their lives, and so many times they...

Some Much-Needed HOPEISM from The Indomitable Warrior

Michelle Guppy handles everything in her life (which is a lot) with grace, insight and never-wavering faith. She coined the term HOPEISM (the belief that our faith and God’s faithfulness will collide), which she not only practices daily but shares to help and inspire...

Welcome Back to the Church: You Can Make a Difference

by | Mar 23, 2016

I am technically a Catholic, but I don’t think I’ve ever really been a good Catholic. More like an I-Was-Born-Catholic-So-I-Still-Am Catholic. A Christmas/Easter Catholic. A My-Kids-Are-Baptized Catholic. I tried to be a good person, but I wasn’t too concerned with...

We are in the midst of Fashion Week! Not news to you autism moms. I’m sure that it is your ultimate priority in between therapy sessions and cooking allergy-friendly meals and cleaning up poop. Right? Clearly, I’m kidding. If you don’t have time to peruse the fashion...
