Sunday Best is a collection of my favorite links from blogs I have read in the past week (or sometimes a bit more if I get behind!) Posts may range from thought-provoking or challenging to instructive or informational, with a dose of fun and light-heartedness thrown in occasionally for good measure.
Tips for Reducing Christmas Break Anxiety by Chynna Laird at Hartley’s Life With 3 Boys – This is a common topic on a number of blogs this time of year, and guest poster Chynna shares a lot of great tips in this article. I especially liked her description of how her daughter Jamie is involved in planning the activities they will do during Christmas break. You may have to adapt this for your child based on his or her level of communication and planning ability, but I can see how it would be helpful for a lot of families.
Autism Night Before Christmas – I have been noticing a lot of hits on a post of mine from December of 2008. It is a poem by Cindy Waeltermann of AutismLink and was reprinted with her permission. Just thought I’d mention it here for any of you that haven’t seen it – enjoy!
Last week, I mentioned the new blog carnival being hosted at Help! S-O-S for Parents. Well the first round is up at Carnival of S-O-S, Edition 1: Autism and Treatment Options, and I would encourage you to check out the submissions.
Please feel free to share your favorites from the week in the comments – I’ll be sure to check them out!
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!
