Kids with special needs - such a tough subject and sensitive to talk about - especially if you have "typical" kids. This post give some great insight into how both types of parents think/feel - both those with typical kids and those with special needs. Much of the discussion happens in the comments, so be sure to read those too.
Just bought this autism necklace. LOVE

Susan Popovich Lopez So, you drop birthday hints (not very discreet ones!) and then buy yourself $hit. How then does your DH shop for you? or do you shop for him for you :giggle!!!
ColoradoMoms (~Emily) DH wouldn't even know how to see this on pinterest. LOL I buy stuff and then say "Thanks hon, you just bought me this!"
LOVE this autism awareness ring *hint hint, my birthday is coming up. ;) $10

Lora Kohnlein I've had a few threatening confrontations with older males who thought I was an overindulgent parent when my son with Autism acted out, it scared me and made me want scream in their faces, HE HAS AUTISM! Don't judge a book by it's cover!
Great ideas for rainy day activities with your special needs kids. :)

Want to make a difference? Help Nella reach her fundraising goal for the National Down Syndrome Society!
An oil pan from Wal-Mart becomes a magnetic board! Another idea: paint with chalkboard paint to double its uses!

supposed to be the best....This is the BEST BEST BEST play dough recipe you will ever find - I have used it for 8 years in my classroom. The kids absolutely love it. The recipe on this link is for a small batch - here is the classroom size batch, and we use a bit of baby oil in it as well to add a really smooth and soft texture. Parents rotate and bring us new play dough every week. The recipe: 4 cups water, 4 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 4 teaspoons cream of tartar, food coloring. Combine ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of the moisture is absorbed. Store in a covered container or Ziploc – does not need refrigeration. Add a bit of baby oil to get a softer texture.

White rice + food coloring + rubbing alcohol = Rainbow rice! A very less messy alternative to sandboxes.
