You find yourself driving a 50 mile radius of your home

for " Woody " (toy Story) costumes in every size as you realize your

child needs a new outfit for an upcoming event, and you worry about

next year IF your child grows more than an inch by this time next

year.

Find yourself bidding on Ebay for the discontinued Toy Story figures

so you have back ups, and will pay any price to get them

YOur older kids laugh at " the time mom threw hot dogs at the wall

when she was about to loose her mind " after drawing a scene from

Scooby doo video for the 100th time in a 24 hour period because

Shaggy's goatee wasn't " just right "

I have already listed some of our gems, but some of the great ones many of you have added have me roaring......just too close to home!!!

The ebay thing. OH YEAH!!! I even multiply bid on the same item in different auctions just to make sure we got at least one. (I have ended up with 2 Rescue Hero police cars and numerous rescue guys that we already have because they all came bundled together!) That's a hoot. Another time it was a period of the Dave and Becky videos. Why do they have to put everything on those darn DVDs??? My kid can't keep them from being scratched or stepped on or broken...... But the tapes are faboo! Anyway....we have owned the bulldozer video for over 13 years and it has been watched.....hmmmm.......dare I say 10,000's of times? (I have 5 boys...remember) Of all times for the darn thing to get lost. I frantically searched every online auction. I had to buy a whole stinkin' used set again. I already have them ALL. I also bought the DVD they put out as a back up. Would you believe they cut scenes out of it??? Of course, my ds knew exactly what scenes were cut and that did not cut the mustard, if you know what I mean!

And also as an aside to the woman who wrote about boys being boys.....I did get what she was saying. Having had all boys there are many rude obnoxious annoying behaviors that my ASD son has that all my other sons have gone through, too. It became really hard sometimes to distinguish between what was normal and what wasn't. And I'll definitely agree that there are sooo many peds out there that give you the "He's a boy. That's what boys do" line that you do become timid about rushing out and demanding a dx because deep in your heart you really want the ped to be right even though your mother instinct keeps telling you differently. I couldn't get anyone to take me seriously until I just get fed up enough to leave the conventional thinking behind and set off on a DAN course. Thank God for all the informed moms in the therapy waiting rooms. Mother instincts are so strong. God definitely put them there for a reason. We need to be courageous enough to listen to them more often.

I still have a houseful of boys, but with one year of biomed under our belt we have hope for the first time that things are on the upswing. I can attest to the stress and strain it puts on a family and marriage. It's a wrecking ball to be sure. For years after the twins were born (they are 4th and 5th) I felt like I was barely treading water. I was fighting a war on 5 fronts with no reserve army to put in. All I could do was stamp out grass fires over and over again, but they just kept cropping up. My older boys definitely see improvement in their asd brother. (his twin had behavioral issues, too). Keep the funnies coming. I have always said the day I lose my sense of humor and cease laughing at the wackiness that is "us" I'll surely quit living. When I recount some of the things that goes on under our house, I have to admit, it would make a great stand up act!!!!

I have to add a few :)

If you take your family to "A Day Out With " and wonder what percentage of the kids are ASD.....

If your son can script verbatim & act out with the correct trains an hour long the Tank Engine video....

If your son & OCD dog are obsessed with excavating your entire back yard every spring....

If you can't find your son & he is squatting down in the 2 foot deep hole the dog dug while putting the dirt back in the hole on top of himself & the armload of the Tank Engine trains that he carries around......

Well I just found one out that I can add that hasn't been mentioned.

If you ever wake up in the morning and go to pour your child some juice, and find several paper towels floating around in the juice bottle.

I know how they got there, I just can't figure out the why part of it.

When you end up paying for everyone's hair cut because your kid

screams as if every hair has it's own little pain receptor, yep that

be autism.

Having just discovered 6 eggs

missing too (I was going to bread some chicken cutlets for my husband

and i), I'm thinking he cleaned up the eggs and tried to hide the

paper towels in the juice.

> Now I have to dig through the garbage to make sure there are

about 6 eggs worth of shells in there or hunt through the entire

house for missing eggs!!

work he's in HUGE trouble!!!
