This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Thursday, 5 June 2014. The Most Fun Appointment Ever. Another forgotten blog post and this was from last year. There's an update at the end. Cameron's Ipad and Ipod. The Most Fun Appointment Ever is what I think Cameron would have called our appointment at the Independent Learning Centre. Cameron got to have a play on the mini ipad and the two Samsung devices too. He really was in heaven. An update - Foll...

On Saturday Cameron went with MMM to get a much needed hair cut. I was referring to his hair as Sideburns Gone Wild. He really needed a hair cut. This visit MMM settled Cameron into a chair and spoke with the hairdresser before leaving them both and sitting in the waiting area. Cameron did really well and after a quick consult with MMM about whether pro...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Tuesday, 17 June 2014. Just How Many Pairs of Jeans Does One Person Need? This post is not an advertisement and has not been paid for. I just like to tell people when I think a product or service is good. Recently I took Cameron shopping for Jeans. He very inconsiderately grew out of about 4 pairs of last years jeans and now that we don't have school uniforms we need more casual clothes. Cameron happily e...

This is No Ordinary Kid: I Don't Consider Myself a Special Needs Parent

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Friday, 6 June 2014. I Don't Consider Myself a Special Needs Parent. I've read a few blog posts over the last few months about how parents of children with special needs would like people to talk to them and be friends with them. The blog posts I have read have been wonderfully written and have stirred up a lot of good discussion amongst the special needs community. Don't get me wrong, I'm not embarrassed...

This is No Ordinary Kid: Toileting - 18 Year Old Style
http://thisisnoordinarykid.blogspot.com/2014/06/toileting-18-year-old-style.html
This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Thursday, 19 June 2014. Toileting - 18 Year Old Style. The quest for Cameron to become an independent toileter continues. It is painstaking and tiring, frustrating and infuriating. And sometimes it's just plain funny but not very often anymore. Lately he has been having a morning wee in the shower and I figure this is fine. It's all going down the drain and he knows he's doing it so that has to be a p...

I know you were expecting to read whether our marriage survived or not but that was further along in the story so you will just have to wait and see. There were some absolute positives about moving back to the city and mostly they were based around our families and friends. Michael also had a huge positive by moving to the city. He beca...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. My Marvellous Man and I have been married for twenty four glorious years. We met at University when I was studying early childhood teaching and he was studying industrial chemistry. Neither of us understood what the other one was studying but our best friends were a couple, studying the same courses, and they introduced us. He is always supportive and the only person I need to hold my hand through this am...

This is No Ordinary Kid. Family life, raising a child with special needs after surviving Meningitis. Thursday, 26 June 2014. My Nightmare Came True. Cameron 18 years old. I've been quiet for a week because I was in shock and trying to process what happened. Why? I admit I have lived a sheltered life, yes I drink wine but didn't try alcohol until I was in my twenty's and I've never smoked and have never taken drugs either. This can't be true. The person Cameron was with took advantage of the fact Cameron ...
