On the Spectrum

Day 414: Drummed Up
Tuesdays typically are the longest days of the week for Henry. He starts his ABA therapy at 8:30 and wraps up at 11:30, just in time to have a quick lunch and head to preschool. He gets done there at 3pm, and after I walk him back home, he has a couple minutes to grab...

Day 413: New Venture
It was a pretty big Monday in the Schneider house. It was the day Erin launched her brand new business, Mountain Summit Consulting. We are all super excited about the new venture and it focuses on something near and dear to all our hearts. After Henry got his autism...

Day 385: The Now

Day 305: My Boy Friday
We made it to Friday. Excited for the weekend, and even though the week seemed to glide by pretty quickly, we were all probably a little gassed. Henry woke up a little rough around the edges, after a few rough nights of sleep. It was a big week for him, so we weren't...

Regular readers of this blog may (or may not) remember that several weeks ago, I made a rather impromptu decision to take part in a very short screenwriting competition. A friend of mine was doing it, so I figured what the heck. The gist is that it's a 48-hour...
