http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Sunday, 28 June 2015. Autism is not just a disability. It is also a culture. Most of us are proud autistics who don't want a cure. We have our struggles and various social constructs can be very disabling but there are good things that can come with autism like our intense interests and attention to detail. There are two ways of looking at autism, the medical and social models. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Links to this post. Monday, 1 June 2015. It was accept...

Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Friday, 27 February 2015. Updates on School and Medicinal Cannabis. I have so many things to think about right now that it is hard to focus on topics for my blog. For now it will have to be updates. I can’t tell you yet, about the two projects that I am working on but they both involve autism and me! Both projects involve executive functioning skill, some of which I find hard to come by! Her marks were 95%-98%. Here is a link. In first semester, first pe...

Tales From An Autism Family: November 2014
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. This isn't completely about autism but it is about me and does involve my autism because it is a big part of me. It is about my trip to the genetics clinic for my Ehlers Danlos assessment. The good thing is that I had some of my medication saved and took it before I left. Very. We got to Union and then I had to find the subway. I thought it would be where the buses pulled in but it wasn't! I went in and found my way to regist...

Tales From An Autism Family: July 2014
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Sunday, 13 July 2014. Just a quick note. I have been thinking that the name of the blog should be changed slightly. I have changed it from .Autism Family to .Autistic Family. I did this because we are autistic but we are not autism. Autism is a big part of us and who we are. It cannot be separated from us so yes we are definitely autistic. We can't be autism. PS I will write a post soon! Just finished two Coursera courses. Very busy. Sunday, July 13, 2014.

Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Monday, 31 March 2014. What Do Autistic People Want, What Do Autistic People Need? For this year's Autism Acceptance Month. Thinking Person's Guide to Autism. Is asking autistics to write an answer to the question “What Do Autistic People Want, What Do Autistic People Need? Those are questions that most autistic people don't usually get asked. Other people decide what we want or need, especially in case of autistic children and therapies. We need doctors...

Tales From An Autism Family: September 2014
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Thursday, 25 September 2014. The Answer to the Question Everyone Wants to Know. Is She In School? It has been three weeks now since school started. Micah has attended everyday! My autism consultant worked on getting Micah's timetable fixed before school started. The school hadn't given her the computer course she wanted but had given her drama and something else instead. She needed courses that would make her want to go to school, not avoid it! The first...

Tales From An Autism Family: October 2014
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Saturday, 25 October 2014. I mentioned in my last blog post that I am trying a new medication. I am mainly taking it for anxiety but it can also be used for my pain. Due to my new found occasional confidence, I was able to ask my psychiatrist about trying it. I had asked my social worker, through email, if any of the people he sees take it. He said yes and that they do find it helps them. He also said they usually get it prescribed b y. In my case, it is...

Tales From An Autism Family: Disobedience to Independence
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2014/03/disobedience-to-independence.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Saturday, 8 March 2014. I have discovered that sometimes Micah's disobedience seems to make her more independent. Today she had her treat of smores early. After the soup offer, that is all she wanted for lunch and her father would only do the soup if she went to the restaurant. So, no soup. He left the house and she was still after me for the soup, even after he came back she was still wanting the soup. She thinks she got away with it and technically she...

Tales From An Autism Family: Travelling? Yuck!
http://talesfromanautismfamily.blogspot.com/2015/08/travelling-yuck.html
Tales From An Autism Family. Autism In Our Family. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Some autistic people like to travel. I am not one of them. I get too anxious with all the planning, actual travelling, staying in a different place, and not knowing what to expect. It is not a break for me. Staying home is more my thing. We took a big vacation at the beginning of July. We travelled to Brighton, England. It was very stressful planning for it in the midst of planning a symposium and writing a book. I told them we a...
