Chapter Twenty Four - Charlie is a Teenager! Mom and Charlie, on the porch waiting for the summer school bus. 2014. Actually, when my mother in law first died, we had to spend two weeks here, living in a motel trying just to get the house empty.

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. My mother in law had been a hoarder. There was a tiny path through the house and when we went into the bedrooms or basement, you had to walk up onto the clothes and we were up about two to three feet high. It took two 30 yard dumpsters and a ten yard dumpster to clean out the place and four coats of paint all around. Jon has the little room, he is 15. Interior View of our Sun...

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Last year was a nightmare for Charlie, my son who has autism. Picture Charlie: fourteen, tall, heavy, he speaks well, but 80 percent of his language tends to be scripted - as in taken directly from TV or video sources. Imagine if the only way you could communicate was to sing some song you'd heard over and over in your life. This year will be bette...

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. Monday, July 21, 2014. Our First Extended School Year Experience and Considering Working Again. Ah, school. Charlie loves. School. At least for the first week or so. After that it's a battle. ESY has not been any different. One nice thing is that there are kids there from the other two schools that he has attended in the past, so he is able to hang out with friends from schoo...

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. I am going to post links to the chapters that I have written in my book about Charlie. I have been writing it since he was in First grade. It started out because I was so tired of having to reiterate his history to new doctors, teachers, workers. So I tried to write a "Charlie 101". But it has turned into a book. Chapter Fourteen - A...

I hear the woosh of the door as Charlie comes home and drops off his bookbag. "Hi Mom! I ask about his day. It was good he always says. Always. I wait. He eats a plate of food while watching auto videos on YouTube. 3:40 PM comes. Charlie goes into my bedroom and starts scripting loudly. He is yelling at himself:. You are an IDIOT, Charlie!

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. Monday, August 11, 2014. I love dogs, but. Since I was a little girl, I have loved dogs. I grew up in a severely dysfunctional family. My dad was an alcoholic who was physically and sexually abusive. He was a huge, tall man who beat my brother and my mother. He never hit me, but sometimes it is worse to see others hit and be powerless. Two weeks before the move he died. W...

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. This year Charlie is attending an Extended School Year program. I have never wanted him to do summer school before, because I didn't feel like he needed it, but they pitched this one as fun and games. Lot of social stuff. This morning the school bus didn't pick Charlie up. Just another way to show Charlie that he's different than other kids. I don'...

Autism - Eight Days a Week. The Book: Reaching Charlie - Read it here. Charlie's Blog, in his own words. Charlie's Mom's Art Blog. Monday, July 28, 2014. Today was the kids' six month dental checkup. I am actually on schedule now with the dentist, but it wasn't always that way. For a long time we simply didn't have dental insurance. And then there were times when I just wasn't up for the fight. After the dental treatment, I became more aggressive about brushing and dental checkups. I asked our therap...
