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.
Last night was so wonderful!!! Sean was playing and if that wasn't good enough it was creative play. Sean was pretending that he was a toymaker at Santa's workshop. He was watching Santa Clause the Escape Clause and he got out a hammer and a paint brush from his art supplies. He had a dinosoaur that he has had for decades and never even looked at before last night and was hammering him and pretend painting him. It was so nice to see. I asked him what are you doing he said,"making toys mommy". Real Play!!!! Brett saw Sean and was joining in on the play it was so nice. Brett is usually the initiator in the play and this time it was Sean. First time Brett ever really followed Sean's lead. Priceless. I guess Santa was listening. Hugs Denise

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...
