Oh the fun of pictures

"Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Today boy had 1st Communion pictures taken with his cousin...oh how much fun can one have at a studio?

tv goes Aspergery

Oh for the love of God people...tv attempts to be compelling with a tv show with an Asperger boy in it. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. The boy was recently diagnosed with Asperger's and cannot stand the sound of the bubbles in the fish tank at school so he breaks it...

The next scene the parents are trying to find a decent school for the boy and are like total goofballs..again, should have expected it.

ha.

oh how he makes me laugh

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter" ~ E.E Cummings

Just a few things that made me laugh this past weekend...I hope you also find them funny.

Sunday - shopping for a 1st Communion suit for boy

• We go into the fitting room with a few suits to try on. While getting the suit ready for him to put on, I told him "Take off your clothes". A minute later I turn around and he has his socks off and is taking off his underwear...
• It came down to picking between 2 suits so I asked him which one he liked best, his response "The one with the FBI warning"...he noticed in the inside the security tag had an FBI warning on it...

Monday morning - getting dressed for school
My youngest daughter was trying to help him get dressed by giving him his pants and she got really mad that he wouldn't take them. Finally he yelled at her "Don't you know you're not allowed ot put pants on before your socks!"

Love him

pyroluria?

Just received this interesting information from a fellow mom friend, Betsy.

Up to 50% of autism kids test positive for pyroluria, her pediatrician had never even heard of it. Basically it sounds like it causes too much Kryptopyrrole in the blood which leads to a dramatic decrease in zinc and B-6. Some of the symptoms that I read were: poor tolerance of physical and emotional stress, mood swings, depression, sensitivity to light, noise and other tactile sensitivities.

If interested you can ask your pediatrician to run a Kryptopyrrole test done via urine. Betsy's son's levels were indeed elevated.

I will keep everyone posted if I hear anything more on this and I plan on having boy's levels tested as well.

Thank you again Betsy for sharing this information!!!
