I honestly can't imagine how the state attorney's office could find these actions didn't qualify as emotional abuse, I'm ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2008/05/27/i-vote-boot-her-out-of-class/ I saw this link on Michelle Dawson's Quick Topic Forum ( http://www.quicktopic.com/27/H/vJvhV4fDnBgw7 ) today: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/health/mg19726414.300-voices-of-autism-silenced-by-charity.html It's so frustrating to see the first part of the article and not the rest! I love New Scientist, it's a habit forming read :) But I've been so busy this last year I've actually forgotten to ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2008/01/31/new-scientist-article/ I'm s'posed to be doing other stuff, but I'm so intrigued by this story-- http://autisticbfh.blogspot.com/2008/01/autism-speaks-silences-autistic-child.html --that I can't think of much else at the moment. Which is effecting my ability to work. It's become like that song you can't get out of your head; it's bugging the heck out of ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2008/01/23/parody/ After not writing anything for a few months I decided to test the waters again the other day. I don't generally like writing, in fact, I hate it worse than matching socks, my least favourite household chore. My husband must have 200 black socks (well, it SEEMS like that many ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2007/12/14/my-wittle-feelings-are-not-hurt/ Howdy! Howdy howdy howdy :D It's been almost a year since I wrote my last blog post, and boy have I been busy! Busy busy busy :) I've been keeping up to date with most of the other Hub bloggers, and thank you all for all the fantastic fodder for ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2007/12/08/howdy/ I painted this over the last couple of days: unusual for me that I also made a preliminary work in watercolour and ink, so for once I have a hard copy sitting at my elbow. Digital painting seems so natural to me, switching back to traditional work ends up tedious ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2007/01/18/stuff/ Well, here I am...as usual a day late and a dollar short :) But I don't want to miss contributing something to PosAutive Day, so here we go! I have my fingers crossed that I post these right, I've never posted anything from YouTube before... I wanted to pick a couple of ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2006/12/12/posautively-fun/ Time: 11:30 pm Place: My bedroom My son says: Sometimes when I can't sleep it's because of the hot stomach feeling, mum (and I crumble inside¦oh, my baby¦we don't know if that's related to the spikes that show up on his eeg's, or if it's something physically bothering him)¦and sometimes I can't sleep ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2006/11/22/pillow-talk/ I had a very interesting, funny and enjoyable experience yesterday :) It was the first meeting of our social skills class, this time parents only. I've attended other classes through our local speech pathology group, so I've had the pleasure of getting to know some of the children and parents who ... http://mumisthinking.autiblogger.com/2006/10/31/recognition/ If you're not in the mood for rambling, you might want to skip this post. Consider this fair warning :-) I've decided to give up reading autism research stuff for awhile.
