This question may seem weird, especially coming from me.  However, I think it's not only interesting but important to learn from each other. If I asked you, what is #Autism? How would you answer that? The reason I ask is because as we try to spread #Autism Awareness, this is something that we should all think about.  How would you explain to someone what #Autism is? Would you be very clinical and state the symptoms? Would you quote statistics? I think that they would both be correct.  However, I personally think that autism is more than the sum of its parts. For me personally, autism is devastating, amazing, perplexing, beautiful, fascinating, exhausting and insightful, all at the same time. I think that autism is best described by the individuals experience…

I took this picture the other day and never got around to sharing it.  Emmett was laying upside down with his head on the trampoline, his feet in my face and his hands in a box of Angry Bird crackers. I couldn't help but grab a picture.  I love his little piggy toes.  :-)

We have arrived at the Cleveland Clinic's Cole Eye Center for Lizze's appointment. She's really scared of what we are going to find out.  In personally really nervous myself and I handle that by joking around.  Not always something Lizze appreciates.  I'm trying to respect that but again, I'm really nervous myself.  :-(

The front of the eye contains a lens that focuses images on the inside of the back of the eye. This area, called the retina, is covered with special nerve cells that react to light. These nerve cells are very close together in the middle of the retina where the eye focuses the images that we see. This small part of the retina is called the macula. Sometimes the…

We had to pick Elliott up and take him to the pediatrician's office. The entire 30 minute drive he was absolutely hysterical. Elliott no longer wants to leave the house.  Most of the time, getting him to leave for school is hard enough. Clearly, he's not in a good place.  Lizze is battling an unforgiving migraine but she came along anyway because this wouldn't be a fun trip. Mr. Emmett John was not cooperating in the office so I'm sitting with him in the car while Lizze is meeting with the doctor.  God only knows how it's going in there and I'm really worried about Elliott. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as we do our best to help him....
