Be aware, be understanding. Learn about autism, and teach others.

About Me

Im a of a 9 year old boy who has AS, and a brand new baby girl. People would describe me as an eccentric lunatic who has DySLeXia and loves Halloween!

My Interests

I love to write although I dont get to do much of that right now. I am however trying to write a book about my son. I love Pixies, and on my free time I like to ride around drunk in the electrical shopping carts in the Safeway parking lot while the employees chase me around...oh no realy Its GREAT fun! Hosting"We just had a girl on Sep 5 2006!! We named her Céilí. What does the word ‘Ceili’ mean? In the Irish language, Céilí (pronounced KAY-lee) is a term for a social gathering or party; it’s now come to mean more specifically a dance with live music. "Its a most common event, but who can deny that each time Its a miracle!"

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has or is raising kids with Aspergers Syndrome (High functioning Autism). It can be very hard at times, and people just dont understand! Im also finding allot of my old crew....nice to have you back guys!HOT Myspace LayoutsHOT Myspace Layouts
