If one more person suggests that Cale is just "acting out" because Nathan is out of town, I'm going to scream.
Nathan has only been gone for two days. Cale did not change when he left.
The only reason it is worse when Nathan is gone, is because I don't get a break. It just so happens that the two days he has been gone, I attempted to venture out in public and he was seen in all his glory.
It's ok to not get it, most people are not educated about the details. It is hard to understand how my child can be labeled when he doesn't fit the stereotype. There is a reason why they say, "If you know a child with autism, then you know ONE child with autism."
EVERY child is different. Every child has different characteristics/tendencies. Not every child with autism acts like 'Rain Man'.
My son is not neuro-typical. It has nothing to do with how I treat him, how many spankings he does or doesn't get, or whether his daddy is here at bedtime.
He is who he is. He is FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. He is my whole world (at least a quarter of it!) and I am doing everything I can to help him. I didn't choose it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. He is the gift God trusted me with.
Good days are GOOD. But bad days are really BAD. That's okay! Every day is a new day.
I sincerely appreciate your support and love. You all are awesome!

I have been following your blog since the twins were itty bitty but never comment. I just want you to know 1.) I agree with you Cale is Cale and no one other than that! People need to stop trying to come up with a solution for his behavior that makes them feel comfortable with the situation. 2.) I think you are an amazing woman and mom!! I love reading your blog and following your story!
Just sending out some cyber-love...
Ok, that sounded creepy and porn-like. Ew.
Oh and I hate "froyo" as much as I hate when people say "Want to come with?"
Don't you love people who try to give advice about something they have NO IDEA about?? I hate when people do this about anything, for example people who try and tell me how to do my job. I just want to kill them! Head up, you're his mom and a great one. You know him better than anyone and don't let them make you feel otherwise!
Also, I hate froyo...it ranks right up there with me along with the word preggo. I told jordan he could call me ugly names one day when I am pregnant, but he can NEVER call me preggo or preggers. Yuck, I want to throw up just thinking about it.
