I'm actually doing an article about autism with my 8th graders for a few reasons, the main ones being 1)they need to read non-fiction for the standardized exams coming up and 2) it's amazing how many do NOT know what autism is and how prevalent it's becoming. The article goes into depth not so much with the children, but the teens and adults who find it harder to "fit in" and the parents who try to find the means for treatment and a way for their children to live once they pass on. Quite an eye-opener and I wish you the best with your son
Hello Jess.
I hope they were good thoughts of me.
Dot I dare anyone to have any bad thoughts of you.:kiss:

Meh. We got into some older paint, so I had to take kiddo and leave... we didn't want to risk her being exposed to any lead based paint. Jay's been able to get an amazing amount of work done without me. But I hate him having to do all the work. He got up today at 6 and went and did a job - got home at 7 and went straight over to the house to work more. I'm feeling like he's going to burn himself out here pretty soon - but he get's an energy boost every time he thinks about working on the house. LOL Last night he worked on it until 2 am! (And still got up for work at 6!) Craziness. He won't listen to reason... I told him we still have 2 1/2 weeks before we have to move in. But he wants to start painting tomorrow... after that it'll just be resealing the floors and putting up trim, and then we're done with the bedroom's and living areas... everything except for the kitchen (which we're laying down new tile) that'll be last on the list.

Thank you - have you ever heard of Autism Speaks?(they have done a series of PSAs recently) They have a 12 minute mini-documentary called 'Autism Every Day', which will give you a very honest look at daily life. It was expanded into a 44 minute documentary that debuted at Sundance film festival to very positive reviews. Another really great documentary is 'Normal People Scare Me', which was done by an autistic teenager. It is a series of interviews with autistic kids and their caregivers.

It's actually mentioned in the article I'm doing and that I just linked. I honestly never heard about it. To be honest, even though I took a few classes on special education, I am not a special education major so I never went in depth on the different disorders, disabilities and such. So I'm still learning and it's all interesting. It's good that I become more educated though because of inclusion and the potential for having to deal with all kinds of students in the future :shrug:

I do too
I teach preshool and have had some autistic children. They've ranged from mild to severe.

I'm always impressed by people that do all that work on their own. DH and I are 'we have to hire people for that' kind of people! :lol: Now you just have to think about packing

Sounds like things are really coming along!
A couple of months ago I decided to take down the multiple layers of wall paper in our bathroom and paint it. When I start a project I want it done now. It looks decent....but definetly not perfect! :lookaroun I wonder what it will be like when Jay and I finally buy a house and start to do work.
