It's not easy being me

So today while grocery shopping I was feeling sorry for myself.  Now anyone that knows my family would think that I was feeling bad due to G allergies, being allergic to eggs and peanuts can make shopping interesting. Or maybe I was feeling put out due to the others and their food sensory issues.  One doesn't like "stringy meat" gets stuck in the teeth.  Another hardly eats anything.  Then the last that didn't get mentioned, just takes after her sister and doesn't like healthy things.

Nope none of these things were it.  I was feeling sorry for myself because I wanted to get eggnog, and all of them had high fructose corn syrup.  For the average person who is not diabetic, (which I am not) it probably wouldn't phase them.  It is a concern to me due to the fact that if I consume to much processed sugars I will get a migraine.  This type of pain is so not worth the goodness of eggnog.

So I sucked it up and went into the "healthy" part of the store, the part that has all the organic, and vegan stuff.  Yep there was eggnog that just had corn syrup 4.99 for a quart.
32 oz was it worth it.  I stood there looking at it.  I walked away went back to the dairy section, reread all of those eggnogs, staring at the fact that the ingredient list read milk, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, egg.  Hello eggnog.  A main ingredient is in the name.

But, I really wanted some, did I want to spend the money.  I went back looked at it again.  Looked at the ingredients, cream, milk, egg, corn syrup.

I cashed out came home and poured me a small glass of eggnog.  Maybe I need to get some  8.00 rum to go with it

What does autism look like.

What does autism look like?  Who the h@@@ knows.  Really, granted if you see a child walking on their tip toes flapping their hands looking like they are about to take off, they might be autistic.  If you try talking the child and they ignore you or screech at you the child might be autistic.

But if you see a child walking around doing weird things with their fingers, staring off into space, guess what that child might be autistic.  If the child comes up to you and starts talking about different breeds of dogs, yep that child might be autistic.  If you try to talk to a child but they won't look at you  in the face and mumble a comment.  Yep that child might be autistic.

If you are in a crowded place and you hear a child whining he wants to go home, and his parents are trying to convince him to stay, yep he might be autistic and the parents are trying to push his boundaries.

If you have met one kid with autism guess what you have met one kid with autism.
Like every other human being, every one is different. There is no autism mold.  Every autistic child is different.
