Well seeing that I'm 42, I consider myself grown up so I will answer that as if I'm younger: A Librarian.
8. Would you go on a reality show if given the chance?
Funny you should ask that one. I was given information on a new show coming up featuring an Autism Family, and I'm considering it. I'm sure there are a million families doing the same so the chance may be slim. Any other type of show my answer would be no. But, raising Autism Awareness is a subject I live and breathe.

15. What is your greatest pet peeve?
Repetitive Noises, which I've been force to work through having a son with Autism who likes to stack 8 Mega Legos into sets of 2 then 4 then 8 then seperate them into two stacks Smack them together with a loud bang, then start over. I've gotten to the point I've been able to handle his repetiveness (if I can't redirect him). However it still secretly drives me a bit batty.

13 comments:
You are such a great mom and person to speak up on Autism. It is SO necessary. Jasmine is under treatment, we are looking into her course of treatment. I am SO AFRAID that they will be doing another biopsy as she HATES it...oh dear...
I love all your answers, a library will be great!

LOL I love the answer to #4
I would love to see you on a show! Especially to raise awareness. Fingers crossed!
Amen to #10
We are all our own worse enemy...some just don't realize it.
Revealing.
I love that you are decdicated to not only learning more about autism for yourself and your family, but also educating others and helping other families. I hope you make the show!
Two important things.....libraries are necessities...and so are VW busses. One day I will have both of them! (do stacks of loved books everywhere count as a library? Because I have one of those, it just isn't fancy! lol)
A library would be great but it has to have a fireplace!
YOU ARE A GOOD ADVOCATE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. YOU KEEP GOING ALTHOUGH A BATTERY CAN SLOW DOWN. HAVE A GOOD DAY. ROSE
I really hope you get the reality show gig. I'd love to see it.
great stuff :) and you should totally try out or whatever for the reality show!
Reality t.v....a girl after my own heart! <3
In response to #2:
OMG!!! My first car was a VW bug (ok, not a bus, but eh) that was light blue and had the silver VW sign and all that jazz. I loved that car!!!
You lost me after VW bus . . . I've always wanted to a VW buG in baby blue with white panels and silver hubcaps! :) Maybe a project??? :)
OMG----You are totally my long lost black sister that I never had but always wanted.
Seriously, I am a total book addict and when I die I just pray pray pray that heaven is one great big ass Barnes and Noble with gigantic leather chairs and endless coffee.
Lets compare books sometime.
My all time favorite book is John Steinbeck: East of Eden. I love the message and all the characters and the way it is written and well..pretty much every little thing about all 900 pages of it!
