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.
Building Bridges Between Two Worlds: An Evening with World Renowned Asperger Advocate Liane Holliday Willey PART 1 – Great recap of her presentation with some interesting discussion on meds and also on the importance of learning about our child’s world in addition to teaching them about ours.
Be Your Own Hero… The Magic of Confidence – An encouraging post about doing what you need to do for your child while also setting boundaries about how much you can do for others.
The Old Man and the See – An amazing story about how people can respond to advice and insight and what you could learn if you listen. This is also another great example about how to set boundaries in one’s life.
Literature-Based Comprehension (Reading and Listening) – A strong website recommendation from one of my favorite SLPs.
The SLP Apps List – “A new resource for anyone interested in apps for mobile devices (iOS- iPad/iPhone/iPod, Android or BlackBerry) that have clinical applications.” The great thing about this list is that it is interactive, meaning anyone can add their suggestions to the list.
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!

Wow, Trish, thanks for the support!!! I’m glad you enjoyed my piece, “Be Your Own Hero… The Magic of Confidence”: http://fetchitfido.com/waiwaihblog/?p=131
That was a lesson that took me a long time to learn, hopefully others are a quicker study than me.
I’ve started to form my ideas for my next piece which will be posted Tuesday…it’s a look at the all too common experience for Autism/special needs families of having family members and old friends drop out of their lives, once it is clear that their child is different. I intend to have it be a hopeful piece about what can happen after.
Hope is always a good thing – I look forward to reading your next post!
