No More Milk for Me
After eating all the dairy in the world I stopped eating it in September. I had to stockpile it in my taste bud memories because I was fairly certain it would be a long time before I ate any delicious ice cream, cheese, Greek yogurt, etc. I’m glad I did. When I was a child [...]
Guest Post: Aspies Offend (GASP)
I have a few guest posts from Adam coming to Sam’s Stories soon. I don’t ask him to write, but sometimes his brain gets going and I hear the keys of his tablet go clickety clack and he emails me something to publish. It’s weird. He rarely comments or mentions a particular post to me [...]

I had previously heard about parents taking their autistic children off of gluten and seeing positive behavior changes, but I hadn’t done research on developmental delays not related to autism. [...]
Asperger’s Syndrome
This is the first in a series of posts about Asperger’s Syndrome. It has been living in the back of my brain for months, taking up precious space and time that I don’t really want to lend out anymore. I need to spew it out onto the innernets. I need to be able to talk [...]
