OMG – My Child Has Autism!!!

16 September 2009

Getting your child diagnosed with Austism/ASD

If you are a parent with a child with autism, you will probably remember the exact moment you were told that diagnosis.

What happened next??? Did your walls cave in on you? Did you burst into tears? Or did you breathe a sigh of relief?

In my case, the latter was the case – I really did breathe a sigh of relief. Not that I was happy with the new-found fact that my son has Aspergers Syndrome, but by the time we got the diagnosis we pretty well knew it anyway. And don’t get me wrong – I had been through a long process to get where I was that day.

“Mirror, Mirror On The Wall”

3 September 2009

In my era, as a child, we were all fed wonderful fairytales as bedtime stories. Now I do have an opinion about those fairytales but that I will leave for another post…!

Remember the Snow White story where the wicked Queen consults with the mirror to tell her the truth? I had a moment where this came to my mind recently… mirror Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

In life, my desire is to always strive to be a better person – a better mother, a better wife, a better friend, a better ‘me’ in all the roles I manage in my life. One of my favourite sayings is:

“In order to change something, you have to change some-things”
