The launch of a ray of hope for a silent minority

Chelle — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:39:59 +0000

As many of you who actually still take the time to read here know, my youngest son has a schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, along with a couple of other co-morbid neurological disorders. The majority of the hits that this site receives are from those looking for information about childhood onset schizoaffective disorder. At least once a week I receive a Contact Form response from a young adult suffering for years from this disorder or another parent seeking advice and information. Childhood onset is simply so very rare and there is so very little information available online even today, in 2008, the most information pertaining to childhood onset is the results of a study done in Finland. Don’t get me wrong, that study was very important in diagnosing my son, it wasn’t a huge part but it was a confirming factor.

So, where does all of this leave me? Where does it leave other parents? Honestly, it leaves us a bit lost and alone at times. Childhood onset of what are typically adult onset neurological disorders are different than their adult counter-parts. They are usually more severe and more difficult to treat. But we survive. One thing we all agree would be nice is a forum, a safe haven for those of us caring for these precious children to be able to share our experiences, good and bad. A forum for those of us is the one thing that would give us a sense of “community” that doesn’t exist. Sure there are forums for the adults with these disorders and their caregivers but there is nothing for those like us.

At least there wasn’t until now. For all of you silently searching for help, hope and understanding, I am pleased to give to you: Wild-Heart.net Forums; A Safe Haven For Those Who Care For Children With Schizophrenoform Disorders.

Soft Cell’s video for Tainted Love had to be one of the most twisted videos of the 80’s

Boy #2 Discovered THE Greatest Mystery

Chelle — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:05:58 +0000

Boy #2 continues to enjoy being a High School Freshman. This evening he just asked me a question in the form of a minor rant that let me know he just discovered one of life’s greatest mysteries involving females that he is never going to fully understand. Not even Mr./Mrs. Garrison on South Park was able to figure this one out… He asked,

“What the heck is it with girls and hanging out in the bathrooms? What are they doing in there? Some of them put pictures on MySpace that they take with their cell phone cameras of them all posing in front of the toilets. Why? Why? Why do girls hang out in the bathrooms? The only time I’ve ever seen people hanging out in bathrooms ins in movies and in the movies they are killing people or snorting cocaine. I don’t understand what they are doing in there!”

I chuckle at his frustrated queery. He will be asking this question for the rest of his life.

Explanation is needed as I messed up with the image sizes for the intro. My “granddaughters” proved to be more entertaining with the laser pointer than the stupid cat.

Gods help me

Baby Boy is feeling the subtle change of seasons and daylight hours which means his chronic insomnia is kicking in gear again. He’s had me awake since 02:30 going on and on about a website he’d like me make for him. He already has a domain name picked out. At first I thought this website was going to be an art gallery for a specific series of drawings & art creations that he and Bonus Boy have been doing for the past two years.

Wrong.

I was just informed that he wants it fully developed into a virtual world similar to Webkinz. I may be slowly relearning my CSS, PHP and SQL code skills but I am not a web application developer. Heck, I’m having a difficult enough time regaining the design skills I used to have.

Gods love him. His little Aspergers & Schizoaffective brain cannot understand that while the front end of his concept may look and act simply, the backend programming would take a whole set of skills that I simply cannot deplooy. He’s spent the last hour attempt to convince me that I can based simply on how he wants it to look. *sigh*
