After the time that H tried to hastily roll up the awning and a strong wind sent him airborn.....we now use deflappers and tie downs. :banana:

You shouldn't be too surprised at the kindly replies. We are much friendlier than we've been accused of being :dance: Please accept our warmest welcome!!! >:D

LOL @ TJ !!! Snarky! I LIKE! Welcome to the newcomers!!! :dance:

:banana: Glad you woke up and found us!!!

We rent from Kenny @ Tee Time, but I did see this Humdinger of a GC on our way to the Marina....

LOL Keylime. There really WAS a prob. They closed the machine down after me. It kept freezing up and nothing would come out. It was good tho. :dance:

One problem though, I had about 50 pics I couldn't use... like one of the other dog. The kids were in every picture of her. Next time just make sure you get plenty of solo pics w/the dog. LOL! Some people used to use disguises on their faces... that could be an option. :dance:

Haha that's to cute! Now we know why he flipped out in church every week. All the references to Cheezits and no one would give him any. :dance:

Thanks for your interest MagicBus! That is one question that is tough to answer. It all depends on where they are "on the spectrum" (how severe) and whether or not they receive the proper therapy and support early in life. Autism in itself has so many variables from child to child. I would wage a guess and say that many can go on to lead productive lives if they have the support they need early on. Sadly, there are some who remain "locked up" in their own little world and never even become verbal. Fortunately we hit it head on pretty early for our DS6. He was in spec ed classes not lon

I'm jealous. HOPE YOU HAVE A BLAST!

One 2 week trip annually. It takes us 8-9 hours. (Although... I've got my fingers crossed for a short Halloween trip this year.)

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Now that just cracked me up big time! LOL. My Gabe likes to get naked and run really fast so you can't catch him. All fours is just hilarious!!!!

Kinda odd, but it's our "typical" son who can't stand tags in his clothes! LOL. The one with challenges just doesn't like clothes. (insert streaking smiley here) Here he comes...there he goes... AND HE AIN'T WEARING NO CLOTHES! :banana: Dave, it may be the empty wine bottles that keep us from going over the edge. Allison said earlier that wine makes you a better parent. :banana:

Hey Terri! Glad you found the new hang out! :D

:waycool: ;) Hi Brent. Glad to have you among us.

It's the only reason that they keep me around here. LOL. Nope! Hate to disappoint you but you're here on your own merits dear! PM priveledges are just the cherry on top.

You're gonna pay for that last one H. Just sayin'... :parrot:

Great TR! Really enjoyed the photos. Don't worry about not posting pics of the kids. Kids are overrated anyway. Just kidding. >:D

>:D Love the TR!!! AND the cookies! (we call 'em cow patties) hehehee.

Sounds like you have enough experience with autism to have plenty of advice and wisdom to offer. Sometimes just an encouraging word is enough. Regarding your comment that normal is all relative.... I used to have a graphic in my siggie somewhere else that shall not be named... that said "Different is the new normal." I have one w/ADHD and the other with Autism/ADHD. Normal??? What the heck is that? LOL

Wow! My 6 year old hates clothes too! In fact, I have to let him go commando and wear cotton shorts around the house and at my mom's. He doesn't do underwear AND shorts/pants. Interesting that your daughter has artistic talent. My son starting singing out of the blue back during the summer. We are noticing that he is singing a lot lately. I've heard him attempting to sing the tune of the Indianna Jones Theme (his bro is a big fan and sings it all the time). LOL. He also has started singing The Three Cabelleros. I think this is going to be a wonderful forum. It is comforting and encou

Welcome to the better board! We're doing all we can to reach those who may not know where we are. Those with PM priveledges still in tact come in handy. :) The gyrating parrot makes me nauseated, but I'm caving in to the peer pressure. >:D

Do you ever say... I am your host. Your GHOST host. Muuuaaahhaahahahaha. Anyway... welcome. Glad u r here.

When you are on the Post Reply page if you scroll down there is an "Insert Quote" link at the top right of each post. As you click on them it inserts the quotes into the box on top. Ta-da!!! LOL @ Da Mayor! Thanks Lisa! *worshipping smiley* It's nice to know a 'puter geek. I'm only a band geek.
