HODGE-PODGE

BOY : TONIGHT I HAVE ALL KINDS OF UNRELATED THINGS GOING AROUND MY HEAD.

FIRST THERE WILL BE AN EPISODE OF "WITHOUT A TRACE" ON CBS CHANNEL2 FEB.3 THURSDAY NIGHT @10PM ABOUT AN AUTISTIC BOY WHO BOLTS IN A MUSEUM WHILE HE IS ON A FRILD TRIP WHEN HE GETS "OVER-LOADED" I AM VERY INTERESTED TO SEE THE PORTRAYAL. THERE IS ALSO AN OSCAR BUZZ ABOUT A SHORT FILM - DOCUMENTARY THATS UP TO WIN AN ACADAMY AWARD AND IT IS CALLED "AUTISM IS A WORLD " IT IS ALSO SCHEDULED TO AIR ON CNN SOMETIME IN 2005???

 

I HAVE BEEN BEATING MY HEAD AGAINDST A WALL TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GAT THIS IDEA STARTED TO NETWORK PARENT AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT   AS WELL AS IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON MY MAILING LIST PLEASE EMAIL ME AT DAKSOPENDOOR@AOL.COM  PLASE INCLUDE ANY INFO YOU WOULD BE WILLING  TO DISCLOSE. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN WHAT TYPE OF WORK YOU DO [OTHER THAN THE 24 HOUR JOB YOU DO TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHILD}THINGS YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IN REFERECE TO YOUR CHILD AND INFO YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO OTHER PARENTS. THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING!!!!

NOW THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH DAKOTA-- WE WERE WATCHING TV AND THE NEWS MEDIA WAS LOCKED ON A SPECIFIC STORY AND THEY KEPT GOING ON ABOUT IT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE SAYS"YEAH YEAH YEAH THEY'RE HYPING IT" I CRACKED UP  I SAID "DAKOTA DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ?" HE SAYS "YEAH THEY'RE SPENDIN' TO MUCH TIME ON IT!" THATS SOMETHING WE HAVE THAT OTHER PARENTS DON'T EXPIERENCE IS THAT LITTLE BIT OF JOY WE GET WHEN OUR KID DOES SOME LITTLE THING THAT WOULD GO UN-NOTICED HAD OUR CHILD BEEN NEURO-TYPICAL. WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING THIS VERY THING IN GROUP LAST NIGHT. IT IS SUCH A KICK WHEN THEY MAKE THE TINY-EST IMPROVEMENT  MAN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN MOVE  MOUNTAIN! SPEAKING OF WHICH WE HAVE HAD SOME IMPROVEMENT ON SELF HELP SKILLS AS MINISCULE AS IT IS DAKOTA HAS BEEN REALLY TRYING AND FOR THAT I AM HAPPY!!!!  :-}

ALSO HAVE FOUND SOME INFO ON SOME SCHOOLS IN ORANGE COUNTY CALLED PYRAMID AUTISM CENTERS--THINK I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE BUT I THINK THEY ARE WORTH LOOKING INTO.

FOR NOW  THATS IT
