My Boy With Autism

I blog about my life with my child who has Autism, severe learning difficulties, poor communication, Epilepsy, and OCD. Born in 2002, he has become so much more than just a label. I write about our life ; the ups and downs, the triumphs, the joys, and anything in the news (about disabilities) that has caught my eye. He is the eldest of three. My youngest has Nystagmus, a mild speech disorder, and a very mild Sensory Processing Disorder. *Thank You For Stopping By*

Teletubbies Writing

I found this writing in J's room, folded up and tucked away.
Visual accuracy when copying is one of his fortes.

Our Home Schooling Project - Solar System

As part of the home schooling I do with my middle and youngest sons, (I part home school, part independent -fee paying- school), we created this 3D Solar System. J participated in his own way, and created his own version of Space.
I had the laptop open for us to look at planets and Space, and all three boys looked through lots of images, with my middle son, O, aged 7, reading the information out.

This is the finished project for the Solar System. The planets are very

textured, with beautiful swirls of colour, and being 3D, it looks amazing up on the wall.

This is what J created with the paints available on the work table; His vision of Space and planets.
