I am even more glad that you found me online and am excited to learn more about your family and what is going on as I read your blog to catch up on the years since you moved away from Tallahassee. As I read this blog, it made me think about my nephew who has apraxia. The struggles that his mom goes through are on a near path that you are walking. I have pasted her blog address so you can read and might find comfort that you are not alone (even though I know you, know you are not). Here is the address: http://rowdystroudy.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-wrong-with-you-son_25.html.Carmella Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831287997075896806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-45003383041644005422010-03-28T00:02:55.618-07:002010-03-28T00:02:55.618-07:00I think it's good to be able to share with oth...I think it's good to be able to share with others Starr, and to get their feedback and support. My eldest daughter is developmentally handicapped. We found out for sure when she was 4 1/2 and I went to register her for school. The school nurse suggested that we have her speech assessed. The speech therapist suggested we have a complete assessment done, and the rest is history. Oh how devestated I was to find out that my precious little girl had a major handicap. I had probably known all along, but had been burying my head in the sand. Oh, how I cried and railed against the powers that be for a very long time. Then I realized that wasn't really changing anything. I learned to accept it and then to move forward. It would have been so helpful to me at the time if there had been the internet to hook up to and to help me through a very difficult time in my life. I felt so alone. I shall keep you and your family in my prayers.

Having children has completely changed the way I look at others- and to never, ever judge. Graham seems like an incredible little boy- it just goes to show that we are each so much more than the world thinks we are. thank you for sharing this.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817295829452354125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-54033707311276971582010-03-18T19:07:05.047-07:002010-03-18T19:07:05.047-07:00Thanks SO much for sharing that.

I know it was hard for you to share a "label" about a beautiful little boy that cannot possibly be reduced to a label, but I really appreciate your bravery, as usual.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691049824163252659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-50571848630773643032010-03-12T20:43:55.540-08:002010-03-12T20:43:55.540-08:00He certainly is a really cool little boy who is bl...He certainly is a really cool little boy who is blessed to have a mom like you.

...He is indeed blessed to have you as his mother. <br /><br />I have missed your blogs. Maybe this is your calling. I'm guessing that your writing about him and your experiences will offer a ray of comfort and hope to other mother's who are dealing with autism. Graham must be very high functioning autistic because he seems to be all boy and does indeed sound very bright.Sacto Cat Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456073482496642572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-37831084020450540032010-03-08T09:20:52.404-08:002010-03-08T09:20:52.404-08:00Lesley, I've been thinking about you & Tim...Lesley, I've been thinking about you & Tim a lot this month. About how you two are true friends to all of us, but especially how you two provided the respite that Graham sometimes needed from the chaos that Cami & I create. . .thanks for loving that little boy who would ring the doorbell & beg to come "Up!" Tim was dead on when he said sometimes he'd think Graham was saying, "Hey, can you help a brother out? I can't take it anymore."Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786991087520864962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-76138901212499518002010-03-08T08:40:06.242-08:002010-03-08T08:40:06.242-08:00He is a fabulous little boy and we miss having him...He is a fabulous little boy and we miss having him around (as well as the rest of you!) very much.<br /> I don't even begin to understand the universe, but if this is the path he'll travel, I am so very glad that he has you as a mother.
