Autism How To...Apppointments

I have two children on the spectrum, which means that I have double the appointments related to their issues...Let's see, it'll make me feel better to list some of them: Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Develpmental Pediatrician, Neuropsychologist,, Special Needs Dentist, the HAIRCUT (OH NO!), TWo IEPs....and so on and so forth and I cannot read my pretty, hesitant Vera Bradley planner because it's marred by ink. So how to? Have an apppointment bag ready at all times...(Sensory toys, fidgets, juice boxes with straws, books, and maybe a Xanax for you...) Tell the child about the ppointment as soon as you know, give the kid frequent updates on time and length of appointments, and remember...KEEP GOING! So, how do you how to apppointments?

Welcome to Autism How To

When it comes to autism and its spectrum--there are no experts, only students, learners of the trade. It is my hope that building a community of learners will create, not expertise, but wisdom and a sense of those "having gone before." Autism How To is about HOW TO live this life with extraordinary, wonderful people who have few commonalities with traditional society (whatever that is) and who create situations in which care givers and parents often find themselves lost in a wonderland--panicked, enchanted, worried but joyful...and all the other contradictions in between. I have two children with autism spectrum disorder, am a full time wife and mother, and a bestselling fiction author. My life is careful chaos--seriously. I want to build a new network of outreach and ministry to others who are on this light speed journey and hope to start it here.
