I am loving this video. I hope you will watch it and will see just how the mind of an Aspie works. They are not trying to be difficult. They aren’t being bad or misbehaving. Realize that sounds, sights, textures and smells can actually be PAINFUL for them. Have some patience with them. They are amazing people. (my son included)

I got a really cool package in th mail the other day. General Mills and MyBlogSpark provided me, free of charge, with a great gift box of gluten free products. The box includes Betty Crocker Gluten Free Rich and Creamy Frosting, Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix, Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, Bisquick Gluten Free Mix, Chex Honey Nut Cereal, Larabar Snack Bar, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks Variety Pack, Betty Crocker Potato Buds Mashed Potatoes, Betty Crocke Red Serving Spoon, Coupons and Recipes.
I love that General Mills has gotten on the gluten free bandwagon so completely. They are offering some wonderful products, my personal favorite is the Bisquick Gluten Free Mix, and you can find them in your regular supermarkets at affordable prices.
General Mills is kind enough to offer a Live Gluten Freely Product Box as a prize to one lucky Matthew’s Puzzle Reader. All you need to do is leave me a message telling me what food item you would like to see gluten free.

As some of you know I am a consultant for NYR Organic beauty care products. We recently updated our catalog and we now how Tea Tree oil available. I was pretty impressed with its most common uses, so I thought I’d pass that info on to you. Tea Tree oil is commonly used for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. Sound familiar? Yep, these are the same three things that seem to plague ASD kids.
Apparently Tea Tree oil is good for colds and flu, especially when used in steam inhalation. So that sounds like you could heat up a bowl of water and add a few drops of Tea Tree oil then inhale the vapors. I would start low and increase as needed to see how you tolerate the strong scent.
Tea Tree oil can also be used to treat athlete’s foot and ring worm by applying it to the infected area. You can disinfect a cut or soothe a bug bite by applying it directly to the spot. It does not sting. I actually used it directly on a pimple.
And Tea Tree oil can be mixed with water and alcohol and used as a mouthwash. It will treat bad breath, mouth ulcers and gum infections. You can apply it neat to warts. It may also be effective in treating cold sores and other types of herpes.
It is considered non-toxic externally, and rarely causes skin sensitization.
