Because what Aspies love more than anything else is CHANGE! Yes. Except no. And lord knows things have just been SO BORING &#8217;round here. (The alternate version of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my least favorite things to hear about kids on the autism spectrum is that they tend to lack an understanding of humor, and nearly everything &#8220;official&#8221; says they don&#8217;t understand sarcasm. And really, as much as I would love to believe that my own particular little snowflakes are just that much more special [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hippie School is working on some sort of family history/family tree/civil rights mashup project right now&#8212;at least, I think they are. Monkey tends to be a little obtuse when it comes to telling me about what&#8217;s actually happening at school. Somewhere in his brain, the fact that I oversee his HOME homeschool days gives him [...]]]></description>

Every time you said, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be a TEENAGER soon,&#8221; I replied with a swift verbal smackdown: &#8220;No. NO YOU&#8217;RE NOT. I won&#8217;t allow it. You can&#8217;t!&#8221; You laughed, every time. The joke never grows old. (Then again, when has a joke ever grown old with [...]]]></description>

And now we can all stop and consider that statement and laugh at my fickleness, because wasn&#8217;t I JUST wishing for 2013 to get here?

It&#8217;s going to be SO NICE, I think, and I will SLEEP LATE and RELAX and RECHARGE. And then Monday rolls around and I am just as exhausted and cranky as usual. It seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I love most about Hippie School is that it exists just about a step and a half to the left of flat-out Lord of the Flies when the kids are playing outside. (And of course they play outside for hours each day, unlike those good ol&#8217; fifteen-minute-long recesses at public school; [...]]]></description>
