Different Kinds of "Lists"

I am a maker of "lists." I make grocery lists, lists of books I want to get from the library, a list of ingredients for a favorite recipe (my lists go on and on). I like that feeling of being able to check things off I've done. I always seem to have at least one "to-do" list going at all times. Two of the things that have been at the top of that list for a while were setting up a dentist appointment for my son and making an eye appointment for myself. Both were long overdue. We have attempted to take my son to our dentist that the rest of us use every six months since he started getting teeth. They have never been able to get inside that mouth of his for longer than about 30 seconds. The first "special needs" dentist I tried a while back didn't work out too well. I have an appointment for him coming up with another "special needs" dentist that two different friends of mine have recommended. I have great hopes that he will do better. The second thing that's been on my list for three years has been getting an eye exam for myself. I know, it's a long time to have something on a list. I kept putting it off and putting it off!! I finally did it last week and I'm really glad I did. The eye doctor told me I have borderline glaucoma! Luckily, I don't need eye drops (yet). After the long holiday break, my hubby and daughter both went back to work and school today, respectively. My son went back to school yesterday. The first thing I did after I had a couple cups of coffee under my belt was to work on my list for today. I already filled up the piece of paper. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my "list" was just a little too ambitious!!!

Those "Steps" to Independence Can Be Hard

We are heading towards 600 orders for Dominic's business. Since our long-term goal for Baked Goods By Dominic is having a "brick-and-mortar" and hire those with disabilities, it is essential and imperative that I continue to teach him all parts of the business. Since I prompted Dominic for so many years for speech, he has become "prompt dependent." What that essentially means is that he will look at me for a prompt, like, "what do you do next?" I do that one a lot. Dominic has been going to a private speech therapist for over ten years and she reminds me often that Dominic usually will know the answer, if I am patient and wait for him. That has been a very hard habit to break! Dominic has an incredible memory, so I put it to the test this morning. I didn't write out the steps, I wanted to see how much he could do completely on his own. We have a customer picking up his order today, but the only thing that had been done is putting the cookies into t...

Why We Pursued Guardianship of our Son with Autism

Last Thursday morning, my husband, Dominic and I went to our county's Probate Court and had Dominic's Guardianship Hearing. My husband and I are Co-Guardians, and we were granted "Partial Guardianship," which means Dominic can make some of his own decisions (future educational and vocational placement options, what to wear and how he wants to spend his free time), but my husband and I will make his medical, health care, legal, contractual and major financial decisions. The subject of Guardianship in the disability "world" has been and continues to be a controversial and divisive topic. I was a panelist for an Autism Conference this past summer and presented on what it's like to have a child with Autism. Towards the end of my presentation, I mentioned that Dominic had just turned 18 and that we were going through the Guardianship process. When the attendees could ask questions, the first person that went up to the microphone started telling me that I was...

Presume Competence

Since we have traveled outside of the United States since Dominic was very small, we have had to get him a Children's Passport every five years. Since his current one expires in February of 2024 and he is now 19, we had to apply for an Adult Passport. I don't know why my husband and I picked Dominic's first day of school and Michigan State University moving in their students, but the appointment was yesterady at 3 p.m. We had gathered all of the documents needed and then went into a special room in the East Lansing Post Office just for Passports. The three of us sat down and the clerk asked Dominic his age. He said, "19." Since we were also getting his picture taken for the Passport, he went into a separate room, where she took a picture of him and then let him look at it to make sure he liked it (it will be his picture for the next 10 years)! He said he did, so he sat back down with us. The clerk filled out a bit more of the paperwork and then she let Dominic s...
