    autism

    My daughter can do the same thing.. one day it is fine, the next we are crawling over ourselves to figure out what is wrong. She does insist we play with her some too, but that is after a lot of therapy. She is also moderately severe on the sliding scale. No the lining up is not all the time...

    autism

    It has been a while since I posted. I have a feeling you might be thinking of me, and some others. I am a mom of a young lady with autism. She is moderate to severe and just turned 5 last week. Some of what you mentioned are things she experiences too. Yes she can tell an angry face, crying, or...

    I am sorry it has been a while since I was on.... been a heck of a couple months for me too. Been diagnosed with bilat Menieres and near daily vertigo attacks. Developed something with my heart a month and a half ago.... Just nastiness. Trying to hang on to some semblence of life. I had the saem...

    Hearing peeves of deaf people

    One thing I came across from some hearing friends when out with a group that included my deaf friends was blunt-ness in conversation. My deaf friends tend to be direct to the point and my hearing friends were put off by it. But my deaf friends could not stand how my hearing friends never got to...

    Last Movie You Watched?

    Marmaduke twice for my daughter with CC (very cute) Iron Man 2 (eh....) How to Train your Dragon Legally Blonde and 2 (nothing else on TV but the captions were somewhat off I think)

    Deaf & KFC drive-thru

    I had my first drive threw "episode" a couple nights ago. Usually there is a display I can read and I take my cue from it and repeat till its right and then go to the window when it blinks and says my total. But this time I was riding with my mom and me and my daughter were in back. She got the...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    Would anyone go for that sort of thing oas a mentor, or as a mentee? I sorta had this type of situation going on with a friend who was deaf from a very early age... but it has recently turned out to be not a great fit for me. She and I are on very different paths in life with very different...

    Who likes tattoo? do u have any?

    I have one I designed on my left leg just above the ankle. Sorta religious, sorta new beginnings. For me and my daughter. Took two sittings to do, in gray scale. Took 5 years to decide to go ahead and get one. I am debating getting one more, but just one. For my daughter, she has autism too and...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    OK, I officially dislike my neighbors. Well not all of them. I get home from driving my daughter to school an hour away (and sitting there three hours, which is our weekday ritual) to find my stuff outside once again moved and my upstairs neighbor's bass blasting again. And of course because of...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    Ugh having a rough adjustment week. Bad weather I think making things worse. And a ton of stress of course. Last night my upstairs neighbors had music on till 2 am.... not that I could hear the music.... but they had a bass line I could feel. Made me all tense and edgy and now my back hurts...

    Dolls w/ Implants

    Hmm I wonder if the "toy processors" would work on the dolls I make. It doesn't give dimentions though. Do you know how big the koala is? I know I could work with the wigs on the dolls to make the processors work, if the design of it was not to large for the size doll. I am not currently selling...

    Do you compost?

    My mom has one of those barrel ones that you turn 4 times everytime you think of it. She puts food pieces from the house, grass clippings, garden waste, etc. Has a large veggie garden she uses it for and flower beds. Uses the liquid "tea" stuff from an organic garden center, no chemicals in her...
