  • Vermont Medicaid Reduces Previously Covered Autism Services
    Even when private insurance agrees to a need for therapy services, Medicaid has rules. Unfortunately, these rules advise to start weaning the child off therapeutic assistance after a year.
  • Surviving Cheating
    There can be life after transgression. This is assuming you both want there to be a life after. But for it to be successful, there are some hard --- yet unequivocal --- rules you need to follow in order to get to that point.
  • Autism in Public
    This is an open letter to those people who misinterpret the behavior of some of the children they meet in public
  • Five Things You Never Want Your Mother-in-Law to Overhear
    Love them or hate them, there are some misunderstandings you don't want your mother-in-law sharing at the family picnic.
  • Titles of Online Articles: Are They Important?
    In the slightly more-than-a-year that I've been writing for Associated Content, I've noticed a pattern. This pattern has little to do with the content of the story and more to do with the substance of the title.
  • Ten Ideas for Feeling Young Again
    In our grown-up, bill-filled, sometimes sardonic lives, we can forget how cool it was to be a kid. But was it because we didn't have schedules and conference calls, or could it have been something much simpler?
  • Interview with a Helicopter Mom
    More frequently, college and business administrators are encountering parents who are becoming increasingly involved in the lives of their adult children. One so-called helicopter mom tries to explain.
  • High School Graduation: 2009
    This is a satirical look at what soon may become (or has become of) high school "promotion ceremonies".
  • Angel Guard Seatbelt Latch Covers
    If you have trouble with kids unlocking their seatbelts in a moving car, this buckle guard is the option you've been looking for.
  • Denis Leary Upsets the Autism Community
    At least one chapter in Denis Leary's new book "Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid" is shocking for the sake of selling books. "Autism Shmautism" doesn't share any insight, but Leary's absent-mindedness shines through.
  • Questionable News Coverage of the Black Friday Trampling Tragedy
    Regarding a recent tragedy, one CBS report looked more like an advertisement than a news story.
  • A 13-Year-Old Boy with Autism is Banned from His Minnesota Church
    Should a church be compelled to accept all levels of an autistic child's behavior, no matter how dangerous? Should the parent of a child with autism be expected to accept certain accommodations in order to help deal with their child's behavior?
  • Why Can't Your Child Behave in Public?
    When a child is acting up in public, are the parents to blame, or could something else possibly be going on?
  • Customer Service 2.0
    Call it guest service, customer service, client relations or any other title. They're all just synonyms for "respect".
  • CBS Cancels Jericho...AGAIN!
    I don't watch a lot of television, but I feel comfortable in saying that this was MY show. Many fans echo that sentiment, as Jericho earned a rabid, voracious cult following. That and $3.50 will buy you a bag of peanuts.
  • Vermont's Montshire Museum
    Any season, almost any day of the year, the Montshire Museum of Science offers hours of hands-on learning and fun for kids of all ages.
  • My Son's First (And Hopefully Only) Encounter With "The Belt"
    Though sometimes I wonder how my family manages to walk upright.
  • I Can't Believe She Said That
    No kidding, even people who should know better can make the rudest comments when they don't know what's going on. I guess there's no accounting for being human.
  • Unconditional Love Defined
    If a day can make a difference, then two years can make a miracle. Its the type of miracle that was planted in pain and grew into respect, happiness and trust, and it proves the existence of unconditional love. And she's the strongest person I know.
