You have been with me during my darkest days. So I am happy to report that 2012 is off to a great start. And I am feeling good!
1. Took the boys to the park on New Year’s Day. Ben climbed unassisted to the top of the giant rock for the first time. How’s that for a New Year’s metaphor!
2. Have eeg and MRI scheduled for Ben in Feb. Hoping it will enlighten us.
3. Better sit down, this one’s a biggie: I have a job! Yep, all your prayers and thoughts came through for me in the end. I start tomorrow with a cool PR/advertising agency!
4. I am coming out with an ebook later this month called “Fake it ’til you make it: On becoming an Autism Dad.” More on this later!
5. It’s a gorgeous San Diego morning. I am with my boys. My dad is doing just fine, and soon we will all go out to lunch together. As I sit here typing, I feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
Life is good. Wishing you a new year filled with goodness and greatness!
Autism Dad

Thank you, Christa, for always being so nice and supportive!!! Happy New Year to you!!!
So many things to be thankful for Adam. Congratulations on your new job – that’s wonderful news. Glad your boys and your father are all doing well. Wishing you a wonderful new year with much success at work and at home.
Hey Mary — Thanks so much. Yes, I feel that the gloom is lifting. So much of my issues have been tied to being out of work. The news couldn’t come at a better time. Looking forward to staying in touch. Happy New Year!!!
That is great news, including getting the job! I think I may have found a source for lucky Powerball numbers and his initials are A.D.
Ha! I love it — maybe I should do the same and then I wouldn’t have to get a job :). Thanks for your cute comment! Here’s hoping the luck is contagious!
Way to Go Dad and sons!!!! Happy , Happy New year!!!!!!!!!!!! carla
Carla, special New Years wishes for you! So….I received a report from WordPress summarizing the activity on my blog this past year. And lo and behold, who was the most frequent and prolific commenter on my blog — YOU!! Your comments have always been so supportive and left a big smile on my face. Thank you for being so generous and good to me!!!!
Yea! So happy for you and your boys! Happy New Year!
My son likes to be a ‘bat’ and hang upside down too!
Aw thank you Veronica!! Here’s to our daredevil bats (and the brats too 🙂 Happy New Year!!!
Adam I’m so glad that you gave credit where credit is due – prayers. I hope your little family is blessed more than ever in 2012! I’m SO glad that things are looking up!
Thank you! It really feels too good to be true. I don’t think I ever truly appreciated having a job until I didn’t have one. I see it through new eyes now!! Happy New Year!!
