Complex. Unpredictable. Random.
Last night Scott stepped outside for a moment. As he walked to the car he was treated to a chorus of “Hi, Mr. Scott!” as the football team ran by.
Do you think there’s a student in the high school who doesn’t know where we live yet?
So now that we’re moved and trying to be settled, life is becoming more normal. And by normal, I mean that we have the usual amount of chaos without adding in the challenges of job hunting or moving cross-country. Instead, like families all over the US, our attention is turning to school.
First, there’s Scott who [...]
Partially blocking the exit, hazards flashing, staring at the “Exit 123″ sign while my sons argued over which city is the largest in Montana from the backseat, I waited. The rear driver’s side tire was shredded.
I could have been angry. The move had already been hectic and chaotic and the tire was yet another [...]
Toby the panther is missing. He vanished a few weeks ago and we kept thinking that he’d turn up in some unexpected corner while we packed for the move.
So far that hasn’t happened and Jude is starting to really stress about whether or not Toby is going to make the transition to Wyoming. They [...]
As you know, we’ve been waiting to find out where we’re moving, when we’re moving, and if we’re moving for quite a while now. We’ve endured despite flu, snow, chaos, and the overwhelming feeling that we’re caught up in events beyond our control. There have been more highs and lows during this process than my [...]

Breydon and Jude are both at the upper weight limit for their current carseats. So while we were out running errands yesterday I had Scott stop so that I could run in see if what I wanted was at Target, leaving he and the kids in the car. Afterward, Scott and [...]
Sometimes I wonder if I make things more difficult for myself than they should be. I tend to internalize things – wondering if only I worked harder on this or had a little better foresight about that or been a little less impulsive about the other thing then maybe something different would have happened [...]
I sit at the computer working on school assignments. This quarter I will be writing a full-length script, a short story (which will be substantially revised prior to the end of the quarter), and a paper on Rex Stout, as well as reading my classmates’ scripts and short stories and writing review/response letters.

In my opinion the biggest challenge in dealing with a child with high-functioning autism is socialization. I worry a lot about how Breydon interacts with his peers and whether or not they will accept him, his fixations, and his quirky mannerisms. So far things have gone well – according to his teacher his [...]
