I originally started this blog a few years ago to chronicle Noah's daily struggles with autism. It was a dark time in my life - a time when I felt that things would never get better. It was a time when I felt that all my hopes and dreams for my son and for our family had died. In my efforts to help Noah recover from autism, I began a journey that inadvertently led me to rediscover myself. I learned how to laugh again. How to dream again. How to live again. How to love again.

Autism Schmaustism. He's still our son.

This is a blog celebrating our family. Our kids. Our life.

He's Not a Dinosaur

Me - Noah, what do you want to talk about today?

Noah -    I-N-O-T-T-A-L-K

Me - I know you can't "talk", but you know what I mean. What do you want to talk about?

Noah -  I-N-O-T-T-A-L-K

Me -  O-kay. What do you want to spell then?

Noah -  I-N-O-T-T-A-L-K

Me - Hmmm.... so you can't talk, huh?

Noah -  N-O

Me-  Okay, so tell me one thing that I need to know about you. Just one thing. And I'll leave you alone. Deal?

Noah - Y-E-S

Me-  So what's the one thing I get to know about you today?

Noah-  I-N-O-T-A-D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R

Me - Really. You're not a dinosaur?

Noah -  N-O.

Me - Good to know.

Noah - Y-E-S

Me-  Are you having a laugh?

Noah-  Y-E-S

Me - Do you think you're funny?

Noah - Y-E-S

Me- Yeah, you're pretty funny. =)
