Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

i'm so proud of sam. For a week that started out very badly, it's actually ending on a good note. Ever since we started the extra occupational therapy, he has been attempting to do more and more things and I think he's actually proud of himself. Tonight, he actually participated in a holiday presentation that his class did for the holidays for an actual audience, singing and everything. i am truly amazed by him now. It's moments like these that makes me very proud. I just wanted to share. I hope that everyone had a good day.
thanks for listening

WOW!Uh.......in front of an audience!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO...... This is big! I can see ya smiling ear to ear, and wiping tears of joy from your cheeks! When I worked for the school district, at Christmas time, they put on a big program! One of the songs had gotten me so tore up! " How would I have known ....if he'd be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist.....he is still......my son" Oh, I wish I could remember it all! I had to get up, I was cyring so much, just thinking , what would he have become? and then immediately I thought, he's still my son! I only know him for who he is, and that's the boy I raised and love. I wish Alex would someday do this too, I am so happy for you and your son! I hope ya had the cam cord! A priceless moment in time..... pause...........and keep him right there! Hugs!

    Well, we are are the final games before the Super bowl in three weeks.  Conference games are worth 6 points I believe with 6 points for exact total points for both teams.  I believe Bugsbunny hit 30 points total for the Bills-Ravens game and got the extra 4 points (congrats to you Bugs).  Catching up now is not going to be easy but that total points could be a game changer.  So Kiddies, here...
