You Can’t Offend Me

If you ask me ‘why does he do that?’, you cannot offend me. When you question, ‘if autism is not a disease, then what is it?’, I am not insulted. If you say, ‘My children are scared. How can I explain this to them?’ I will talk for as long as you will let me,… Read More

You probably won’t understand my odd reactions to what seems like misbehaviour from my son. Every parent knows what it is like… Read More

Six Cities in Six Years – If we won the lottery…

Six Cities in Six Years - If we won the lottery...

Everyone has thought about it – what would you truly love to do if money were no object? You might have discussed it with family, around the dinner table or compared notes at family gatherings.
