Small Business Help

I’m not sure which one you should get. I am sure which one my sister should get, and it might quickly help you, too. Last night, I had a meeting with my new friends in The Gang of Nerds. They gave away an iPad, and it was a subject of desire and topic of discussion [...]

We never cease to be awed by his progress, his mind and the patient guidance he receives from his teachers, therapists and classmates.)

Opening Day

Home + Life

About four years ago, I sat at the bar with Scotty and Aric - my two buddies. That night, for the first time, I said out loud: “Our son has autism.” I didn’t break down in tears when I told them. The tears came about an hour later when it occurred to me - there [...]

Living on the Spectrum
