"Friday's Fab Five"

What started out as a venue for sharing stories of Our Adventures with Riley and autism has evolved into something much more for me. Over the past 8 months (I KNOW…can you believe it!!!) I have learned a lot about social media, made some new connections and joined in on a few fun “link-ups”. I originally thought I wouldn't have any problems remembering all of Our Adventures with Riley over the past 15 years or so. Apparently this would not be the case. *sigh* Surely it had nothing to do with my age.  Right??  Ummmm...Hello???

Then there are the times when life just seems to get in the way and my brain is mush. So I figured what better time to share some of my favourite posts and introduce you to some other blogs (my version of #FF - Follow Friday) which could otherwise be lost in Blogger World. Without further ado, here is my first “Friday Fab Five”:

Autism-Related Blogs:

Teaching your teen to drive:  …Nope the Problem is not His Eyesight… by Raising Asperger’s Kids

Childhood inventions:  The Wing: Tales from an Aspie Childhood by Thirty Days of Autism


Link-Ups:  (you'll also find them over on the right sidebar)

Autism Positivity Flash Blog - you can read my contribution here

Stasha's Monday Listicles over at "The good life"

Just plain made me LOL:

The Scarlett Guide To… Faking A Dinner Party by Scarlett Wonderland


Hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did and have a great weekend!  D

To ‘I Wish I Didn’t Have Aspergers': #AutismPositivity2012

The Autism Positivity Day Project: 
"We are asking every blogger in the autism community to write a message of positivity to #IWishIDidntHaveAspergers. So that next time that individual (or another) types that sad statement into Google, he or she will find what they need – support, wisdom, and messages of hope from those who understand."


From Our Adventures with Riley: A pseudo-Haiku poem for you

Life is not easy
Even for those who pretend
They may feel alone

Typical can change

There is good reason for this

No one is the same

Where it all begins

Look in the mirror to see

There is always hope

Together we can

With unconditional love

Make a difference
