The Cookies
All brains put things together a little bit differently.
Angels can appear anywhere…including bookstores.
Tiny home cookies…ready for anything. Karen is a truly a model of how to parent a child on the spectrum, and how to truly encourage his strengths and help him thrive.
Where’s the Q? James likes patterns and consistency, so any change to the norm can cause discomfort of even frustration.
James’s first words were common: go, car, ball, cat, and apple. But those were his first, and only, words for almost a year.
A beautiful brain can work in may ways. Like Karen, if you start to see signs of autism spectrum disorder in your child, seek help in order to utilize resources and support.
