Autism may now affect 1 in 68*, but that number is drastically lower when comparing autistic boys and girls.

My youngest loves lunch meat but since he’s gluten-free, he usually ends up just eating the meat. I’ve tried to get him to eat sandwiches, but failed every time. Until now.

My oldest son is nearly 15. He loves all those video games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed and the like. He would play them all day long if I let him. Thankfully the weather has gotten nicer so I can kick him outside for some exercise instead. He and his friends have been […]
