Autism Awareness

Autism Awareness Month (Specialneedsparenting.net)

As many of you are aware, April is Autism Awareness month. When my son who is almost 21, was diagnosed with Autism, the numbers indicated 12 out of 10,000 children were diagnosed with this disorder.  The CDC's newest stats claim that 1 in every 68 children are now diagnosed with Autism and 1 in every 42 boys have the disorder. When these new figures  were released, I couldn't help but think to … [Read more...]

God’s Strength For The Day

March 3, 2014 by Debbie Kay 2 Comments

Strength For The Day - (Special Needs Parenting.net)

  Like most parents, you probably hit the floor running each morning...there is always so much to do and not enough hours in the day to do everything.  I learned early on that having  a child with special needs meant I needed to learn how to be flexible...I could have a long "to-do" list, but if my son  was having a bad day, that list would go out the window.

January 6, 2014 by Debbie Kay Leave a Comment

I don't know about you, but I have always found as a special needs parent, that all of the typical comments that come with a new year ring really hollow...all the wishes that are definitely well-meant, like... "May this be your best year ever..." "May this year bring good health and healing to you and your family..." I'm not trying to be negative  or pessimistic here ... I'm all for … [Read more...]

Dealing With The Holidays

December 2, 2013 by Debbie Kay 1 Comment

Whether we are ready or not, the holiday season is  upon us. Some people do not look forward with joyful anticipation to all that happens between the end of November and the beginning of January. Many start dreading Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, long before they arrive. For some, the anticipation and dread are far worse than the actual day. When my son was born and before he was … [Read more...]
