Well, the funny part in all of that is, it might be called food,… but is it?
The Haircut Marathon
I have lots of friends whose little boys (or boys in general) always have the ever efficient “Brush cut”. Of course anyone who has ever had that style or even a woman who opted for the short bobs knows they all involve at some point… the clippers! For some (like Stef) the quiet “hummmm” of […]
Dealing with Sensory Processing Issues
I’m pretty good at ignoring things; just putting my head down and diving into “all things Autism”. I’ve read a lot and feel I’m getting closer and closer to helping my kids reach their optimal selves, especially in terms of health, education and overcoming challenges in life. Our recent trip to Pennsylvania brought me great […]
Serenity Now!
I don’t know about you, but there are days when I feel like George Costanza’s father, “Frank” from the tv series Seinfeld. You know the episode where he is trying to start his computer sales business and he is yelling “Serenity Now… Serenity Now” ironically in order to keep his stress level down. I believe […]
There really are good people in this world
So let’s just say my dad is an information “junkie”. He is a retired College teacher, an engineer, and an all-around inquisitive guy. When my brother and I were kids there was a rule that my dad desperately tried to instill. For every half hour of “crap tv” (as he called it) we had to […]
Diet
When you watch TV you see there are lots of commercials for ads with Rolaids, or Pepto Bismol or other antacids. Why? Well let’s take a look at the following scenario… “Ah yes, please more free bread!” “Oh, is that stuffed mushrooms, spinach canapés, and little yummy piggies in a blanket? Oh well, just a […]
Astronaut Training and Therapeutic Listening
I’m not sure exactly when I first learned of Listening therapy or Therapeutic Listening (the form we did in the documentary), but I know I came across it when researching Sensory Integration Therapy as well as the method explained in the book The Brain’s Way of Healing by Norman Doige, M.D. Sensory Integration Therapy deals […]
Son Rise Therapy
I had watched the NBC movie “Son Rise: A Miracle of Love” after coming across it somewhere on the Internet. It’s an old movie and the story goes back even further, since it’s based on the book Son Rise written by Barry Neil Kaufman back in the 70’s when his son Raun was still young. […]
Play Therapy
Imagine if you will. Entering a room you meet a man, his face is familiar but he is in despair. He is a mathematics professor, his language is that of formulas and equations. Yet today, he has only one question on his mind. He speaks to you. “what are the damn words to Twinkle Twinkle […]
It’s the Little Things… Ted
For those of you who don’t know Ted from our documentary – Beyond the Spectrum… he LOVES all things Space! Stargazing is something he has been doing for about 3 or 4 years now. Before that he just studied books and Astronomy magazines slowly teaching himself the arrangement of star patterns and which were actually […]
