Dear Friends, Today I went to see Tiffany Hammond of Fidgets and Fries at her book signing in San Diego. It was at the Carmel Mountain Barnes and Noble, which actually was the main bookstore of my childhood. I prefer small independent bookstores, but any bookstore still standing in Amazon’s wake is good with me!Continue reading “A nice stroll along nostalgia”

Again and Again
Dear Friends, I am once again having a tough time! Geez… it has been so relentless this year. Not a lot of intense or agitated dysregulation, but an awful lot of compulsive restlessness. It is better than being super loud or aggressive. But it is still discouraging and exhausting. This time has been so lowContinue reading “Again and Again”
Another Trial of Autonomy
Dear Friends, I am so grateful for your kind birthday wishes, and so happy after a fantastic birthday gathering last night! Thank you! Tomorrow, Tara goes on a much deserved vacation.

Update + Motormorphosis!
Hi Friends of Danny! Tara here. After a couple of days of calm, Danny is once again having a bit of a tough time, this time with more active dysregulation and, again, very little sleep. It’s so hard to see him have to struggle for days and days. Our mom is, as ever, tirelessly (well,Continue reading “Update + Motormorphosis!”

But now I have felt more grounded for a few days, so I will tempt fate and declare that I am feeling good again!Continue reading “Hi again!”
