Snoring - Why It Almost Got My Autistic Son Killed

Apparently, snoring is the third most likely reason for marriage breakups and whilst that's unlikely to affect my autistic son it has caused problems.

My son snores - not all the time but when he does you do not want to be in the same room as him.

One of the nice things about autism, however, is that it can make you completely oblivious to the effect you have on other people.

Autism - Why You Need A Circle Of Friends

My autistic son has just celebrated his 18th birthday and it was a very emotional affair for me.

Autism is a life long disability but it is not life threatening. I therefore always knew that unless he had some terrible accident or fatal illness he would reach adulthood.

However, I never expected he would be able to celebrate it in the way he did.

Read how having a circle of friends made all the difference.

Hello and Welcome

Hello and welcome to my first post.

Please excuse the lack of originality in the name of this blog but I like to keep things simple.

Basically I am a mother of two boys, one of whom has autism.

In a moment of what can only be described as menopausal madness I decided I would enter the world of internet marketing and it has certainly been a revelation!

This blog may suit anyone who is remotely interested in autism, organics, health issues, what not to do with internet marketing (I'm good at that!), and just general "stuff".

I know you are all busy but if you have the time and want to drop by sometimes I'd love to see you.
