Well, here I am again, trying to make another go at having some me time to spend here on steemit. It’s been crazy, but that’s nothing unusual. Life has managed to catch up to me and the last few months

Well, I have finally managed to find some time to get back here on steemit. It’s been another rough couple of weeks here at the mumofmany household, however things are starting to settle down and get back

As I dive back into home therapy with my little munchkins I’ve been trying to keep things interesting. We had developed a little bit of a routine and consequently we were doing the same activities and

Today was a local holiday here on the Sunshine Coast for Maleny Show Day. Now we don’t often go to events like this, it’s crowded and noisey and all that walking is tough on Master 5 and until we get him

So I finished up yesterday’s post just after we had morning tea. The kids were ready for more fun and there were plenty of activities to choose from. Master 7 disappeared to play with his friends for a

This week in Queensland all the state school participated in Under 8’s Day. It’s a day when all children under 8yrs old get to celebrate learning through play. I have to say it has become my children’s

So I’m slowly trying to get back into home therapy with the kids, it’s been a bit random lately with all the other things we have going on so I am promising myself that this week will be the turn around

A lot of you probably don’t have this problem, but for those whose children have to wear a school uniform, I’m sure you will be able to relate. I now have 4 out of 6 children attending school, with that

I honestly feel like the last few weeks have just been one long appointment. If we haven’t been in a waiting room, prepping for a doctors visit or actually in an appointment we have been madly booking

Caring for my beautiful children is a full time job, well actually it feels like three full time jobs. Unfortunately there is something missing. I do everything I can for them, but my talents are limited

So Sunday was Mother’s day here in Australia. It is the one day a year we’re I get to do nothing!!! Well, that is the plan. My beautiful children make me breakfast, with the help of their dad, and I get

As I travel along on this Autism journey with my children I am learning so much. Every appointment I go to I take a pen and pad so I can write notes and keep up with what is going on in each of my children’s

Sensory play is a crucial part of every childs early development, in both neurotypical children and those who suffer from ASD. All children use sensory play to interact and learn about the world around

I would like to apologise in advance for the rant ahead. But I am just so over rude people! What happened to common curtesy. What happened to respecting the rules, even if when you break them there are

So I mentioned in a previous post that we had decided to hold of on getting Miss 1 formally diagnosed until she is older. Reason one was that she is not currently in need of immediate therapy or psychiatric

Their are a range of behaviours that fall under the autism umbrella. I thought it would be a good idea to address some of these issues and behaviours individually so as to give people a better understanding

It is chaos in our house some days, and others seem to run as if the planning had been in the works for months. The days when chaos reigns over us all is usually a day when I have forgotten to organise

It is not often that I can take the kids to the markets or carnivals or any function that involves a lot of people and a lot of noise, especially by myself. It’s just not possible. To much noise plus to
