Songs

Hi all....

Can you think of a song that represents your life?  Maybe there have been several songs....I admit that I can say that about myself.  I love music, especially anything from the 80s.  I am way into Culture Club right now but that's because of my mom.  She loved that band.  On the day of her funeral....Culture Club was on the radio. It was like a sign or something.  She would reach over and turn the volume up on the radio and oh how we would sing.  Now I listen to them because it's a sentimental thing, a small moment that I take serious comfort in.

So how does this relate to autism?  You'd be surprised!  Right now...I am living on a "Crazy Train" (by Ozzy Osbourne for all you rockers out there).  Autism just seems to have moments that make you wonder, moments that sometimes feel like they can break you.  And here is the thing, we do get help through ABA and doctors and anyone we can but those people aren't living with it.  They suggest things, we try our best.  My husband does one thing and I try another....something is missing in the middle though.  But what is it?  I guess if I knew, I would be rollin' in the dough...well, maybe.  In my mind, I just would want to help others who are feeling just like me.  And I would be able to help my boy.

Now back to Culture Club.  We have had some rough days with behaviors, believe me, it has been a roller coaster.  I have needed my mom.  So, I turn on my Culture Club in hopes that my little memory will hold me and help me through the struggles.  It will get better.  I believe it will but the now is hard.
