I gave my son a home haircut a couple of weeks ago. No, that’s not my handiwork you see in the photo, at least not the missing chunk portions. But it should have occurred to me prior to shearing off all his hair that Dr. Usman might want to do another hair test, considering that […]
It feels like June. That’s when we last made our way down to Naperville to seek out biomedical treatment for Rubén. We found the same traffic patterns, and even the same crappy, overcast drizzly weather. We took a chance on a different hotel and instantly regretted it. After some trial and error fumbling around with […]
Apparently my bride’s a closet shutterbug. She took a pic of Rubén sleeping an afternoon nap (for the first bloody time in ages!), snoring away and sticking his sweet little tushie up in the air. I felt a little pic-postey tonight and went to fetch said photo from my trusty memory card, only to find […]
I don’t know how many of you saw the irresponsible and woefully one-sided 60 Minutes broadcast on Wednesday. Hopefully most were happily tuned in to the MLB playoffs that night.

…as opposed to Spain, where we were supposed to be at this time. No snow there. In all fairness, even in the south of sunny Spain, the winters can be pretty miserable. Chilly and wet, a very damp cold. And since so few people, even to this day, have heating or cooling systems in their […]
My wife and I used to believe our son was on the milder end of the spectrum. We no longer think so.
I used to work through those autism profile tests like CARS, GARS, etc. in an attempt to assess the severity of my kid’s condition. They all have some kind of acronym. They’re also […]
At least we hope that’s the case. Rubén’s supplements are currently in flux. We’re about to begin a long overdue trial of methylcobalamin (vitamin B-12) injections. We had previously held off, even though we’ve had the prescription since June. Mainly we were just a tad squeamish about poking our little guy with a needle every […]
