My Autistic Son is Not A Sexual Predator

December 12, 2015 by Mindi Cherry

My Autistic Son is Not A Sexual Predator

Sometimes, I wish that my son had a physical disability, instead of a neurological one.

How a Pyrex Yellow Bowl Made Me Incredibly Happy

This Christmas, my husband gave me something that I have wanted (and ok – coveted) for about 7 years. A Pyrex set of 4 nesting bowls from the 1960’s. I received many great gifts this year from my family and friends, but nothing compared to the set of 50-year old used mixing bowls that he…

Bullies Only Have Power When You Give It To Them

It’s a well-known fact that bullying by and against children and teens is an epidemic in this country. As the victim of some serious verbal bullying back when I was in middle school (partly because I had some behavior issues and partly because I was a “poor kid” at a private school full of very…

The Sun Is Always Shining

I took this picture out of an airplane window a few weeks ago and I have gone back and looked at it several times whenever I am feeling overwhelmed with life, family and work. My flight that morning was at about 10:30am on a Thursday. As the airport is about 50 minutes (with no traffic)…
