    • About Me

      I am a working mom of 6 - two grown & gone, and 4 still at home. One of those at home is biologically a grandson, but he's my son in every other sense of the word. I am a tax preparer by profession, so my winters are busy and my summers are lazy. (Well, not tooo lazy!) I am very happily married to my perfect mate - and am convinced that God brought us together!

      I like to crochet, read & garden, but spend so much time running Trystin (the youngest) from one appointment to the next that I don't have much time to indulge. I do make time to ride my bike (outside, weather permitting, inside on yucky days). It's about the only exercise I get any more!

      the school hasn't diagnosed him, Aspergers is more developmental appropriate with social delay - and is really outside the Autism Spectrum - Tyler is ASD/OCD - and is to be evaluated again next year - i had the school do his evlauation and I only wish I would've done it sooner as intervention is the key - learning about the developmental delay, sensory issues, and other things really helps, learning about the different ways to learn, no verbal process, Tyler only started talking a year ago - i changed his diet, he's gluetin free, caesin free and yeast free, caffiene free and sugar free - everything thing productive in his life has ocurred in the past year after i learned the diagnosis and started doing research and trying different things - i do have him on a waiting list at Texas Children's Hospital to obtain a medical diagnosis for the purpose of obtaining medicaid - Tyler is in the Spectrum, but is probably more classic autism - with high functioning ability. you should see how limited my world is - and it's all about structured chaos - lol. I am so sorry for your struggles. I pray that things get better with Tristan soon.

      Your words are very encouraging - big hugs to you adn those you love adn care for too! Peace!
