Things Mickie Does
Every night before bed Mickie brings all his blankets out of his room and troughs them on the other side of the fence leading to the living room. They have to land just right and far enough from the gate, so he can't reach them- why? I don't know......
JOHN TRAVOLTA'S SON FOUND DEAD
I just found out about this and I'm so sorry for his parents. He is in a better place, but his parents must be devastated. I know that many reported that they were not doing anything to help him, but it's not true. I saw Mrs. Presley at a fundraiser ...
Help Fund Mickies Therapies
Children Forced Into Cell-Like School Seclusion Rooms
This is unbelievable. How could schools still be allowed to to this. Everybody knows, you don't leave kids unsupervised, mush less one with ADHD-which is my opinion is a label, that makes kids who wear it feel really bad as it is.If this doesn't scar...
Temporary Tattos
For parents of children and adults with autism, our worse nightmare, is to think what would happen if our children would get lost or wonder away. In Mickie's case, who doesn't speak a word, I don't even like to think about it. He doesn't like to ware...

Soon After the Autism Diagnosis
I was looking through old photos this week and found a few from 1999, right after Mickie's autism diagnosis. He used to let our pets fall sleep next to him. He didn't play with them but he let them be part of his space....
Vaccines Are Not the Cure For All Diseases!!
I know it was vaccines that caused my son Mickie's autism. He was never the same after the DTP shot, he received when he was 8 months old. As you can see in the photograph on the left. This is a perfect example of the careless behavior in doctors off...
Autism Treatments Come With a Hefty Price
Well it has now been eight years since I started on the road to recover Mickie. I have tried most of the treatments and diets recommended and Mickie is not even close to recovery, but wait-I'm not implying that all these alternative therapies don't w...
Thanksgiving with Mickie and Family
The day went well for the most part. Now days Thanksgiving is celebrated at my place as is every other holiday. Its easier for Mickie, since he follows nature's clock rather then the actual time clock. Whenever there is a gathering, which is not very...
Mickie Has Been Cranky
Yesterday, when I picked Mickie up from the bus, the driver told me that Mickie looked like he was crying on the ride back from school. I know they don't like him in that class and Mickie like most kids on the autism spectrum, can sense, when someone...
New OCD Behavior
For the last few months Mickie has decided that he has to have his TV and DVD player on all day and night. I turn it off when he leaves for school, in order to give the appliances a break, but as soon as he gets home he runs in his room and turns it ...

A GLUTEN-CASEIN FREE DIET
It was March 2003 and Mickie was now 5 years old and has lost all speech by now. He had started to have these episodes. I didn't know what to make of them. He screams desperation, and as the weeks pass he gets worse. The episodes happen at school...
The Fire
On February 14, of 06, there was an electrical fire in Mickie’s room. I woke up to a house full of teenagers screaming: "Mom, mom; Mickie's room is on fire". I ran out of my room towards the hallway and I could see the smoke coming out from und...

People on the autism spectrum, have no fear of death and no awareness of danger. Many are not afraid of large bodies of water. They are prone to wonder away for home. Wondering away is one of Mickie’s favorite things to do. Over the years I’ve ...
All I Wanted Was a Tomato!
One day last week, I was making some sandwiches, for my girls and me, when I realized, there were no tomatoes left in the refrigerator. I looked out my kitchen window and noticed there was one ripen tomato left on the plant outside. I almost walked o...
Chelation is on Hold
Well, once again, I have to stop "Chelation Therapy" for Mickie. I don't know if I will try again, anytime soon. He seems to become almost psychotic and terribly obsesive during those three days on, but now he doesn't do well during the 11 days off e...

Autistic Enterocolitis
After watching a recent video of Dr. Wakefield; I've been thinking a lot about what he said. He calls Autistic Enterocolitis a new disease. He said that digestive distress is not part of Autism. I guess what got him to take a second look was the fact...
