As Autistic Population Grows, So Does Need For Jobs | The Autism News

macmamava — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:14:00 +0000

This title rings so true! Like all things, once you realize that the diagnosis is “real” in your child’s life, you need to find ways of addressing the issue on many levels. Unfortunately, our kids won’t stay young forever, so this is definitely an issue that needs to be
addressed.

I’ve moved!

macmamava — Tue, 08 May 2012 07:32:29 +0000

No, not the blog site, my home site! Wow, moving ain’t no joke, but I’m not complaining. I’ve moved into MY first house. I emphasize “my” because this time around my name is the only one on the deed. Don’t worry, there’s no ex husband bashing getting ready to happen, just the opposite, I have a tremendous sense of pride making this dream happen on my own. The mountains I’ve climbed and the rivers I swam across are for another post, but the sense of accomplishment I felt when signing the deed are meant to be shared now.

These past two weeks have been spent packing, unpacking, furniture deliveries, appliance deliveries, change of address forms, school updates, and countless other “to do” items and I feel great!

Moving to a new home also allows me to reminence about where I’ve come from. Not that I came from some dark, dreary, gothic type of existence, but I have had to “adjust” a living environment that fit my means (and that was a lesson I learned the hard way)! Fast forward to present day, I’ve come out of my trials and tribulations financially educated, no visible scars, and more aware of working with what I have to get the things I need.

I didn’t want to take up too much of your time today, I just wanted to share……April 19th was a great day and I’m back on track with blogging.

One love from……
