Welcome

Lots of new visitors to this website today. Welcome!

This website is primarily for my published items. I update it only when I publish a new piece. If you want more, check out my personal blog – Apt. 11D – which has been updated several times a week since 2003. Lots of free, unedited content and good conversation there.

My about page tells you a little bit more about myself and where you can find me on social media.

I’m planning on launching a monthly newsletter very soon. If you would like to be on the list, just plug your e-mail address in the pop up screen or in the comment section here.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Thanks for your article in today’s HuffPost. I have been there. My son is now 23 years old, and he has made enormous strides in “learning how to act like a human being”, as he puts it. When I made him a laminated card to give to police officers if he should be pulled over while driving, to explain he may not respond as expected to questioning, he said he didn’t want to carry it because, “it would be like all this work I’ve done to learn how to act like a human being would be for nothing.” I’m so proud of him. I wanted to tell you to hang in there. Your child, like mine, is wicked smart, and he WILL get better at it. My son bags groceries at a local store, and that may be all he ever does, but he’s comfortable with it, and he gets up every day and adjusts to his constantly changing schedule. It’s amazing! Good Luck!
