I really enjoy reading Kristina Chew's daily blog about living with her teenage son, Charlie, who has moderate to severe autism. Each day, she manages to describe some simple activities that she and her husband do with Charlie when he is out of school. She's a good writer, an astute observer, and a thoughtful, loving mom. I encourage you to read it:

I have it bookmarked on both my computers and read it faithfully. It reminds me what families do, why they do what they do, and one family's point of view. They love Charlie, he is theirs, and this is their story. Read it and let me know what you think.
A comprehensive new blog about all things autism...from a practitioner's point of view.
Welcome!
Does the world need one more autism blog? I think so. There is so much to be considered, so many points of view,and ways to think about the best ways to educate and live with children on the autism spectrum. In this blog, I plan to add my thoughts, writing, and musings. I welcome comments and thoughtful discussion. Although I am not a parent of a child on the spectrum, I have over 30 years' experience in the field from several perspectives. I still have the same energy for the education of children on the spectrum as I did in 1974 (I think!). Hope to hear your thoughts.
