Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

Eating out, a success story!

Tonight, for the first time ever, my Naoh actually ate at a sit-down resaurant, Bob Evans, and enjoyed himself! He did need a few breaks, but that was it. Plus, he later had a bowel movement in their restroom, which never happens because he HATES public toliets. I am so proud of him I wanted to share this with everyone!

My husband and I were at a restaurant the other night and a family with two little boys came in for a nice quiet meal and we both looked at each other in shock and could not imagine that happening for us. Congratulations to Noah on handling the situation. YEAH!!

COOL! I know about public washrooms, this is the start of something good I tell you! I know eating out is expensive, but the exercise is good for them. We try to do this a few times a month. And It helps! COngrats!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
