Asperger’s

Sleep – a father’s view

Sleep – a father’s view

Both my wife and I have written about meltdowns on this blog before. And while they do not happen every day, and do not completely define the autism in our daughter, they are incredibly stressful for all involved. They mainly

The Look

The Look

They say that the eyes are windows to the soul and I do believe that your eyes never lie. No matter what emotion we are trying to hide, to fight, to keep in check, the eyes are the big giveaway. I

Puzzling

Puzzling

I know many people find the ‘puzzle piece’ analogy for Autism an irritating one as many use it to indicate that a piece of the puzzle is missing which in turn makes people think that all ASD girls/boys grown-ups have

BFF

BFF

Mixed Emotions
