My younger brother was diagnosed with asperger’s syndrome a few years ago. I took this photo as a way to try to spread awareness of the autism spectrum. I’m still learning about it, and I’m by no means an expert, but I am trying to understand. I used the pattern of the autism awareness ribbon as inspiration. Imagine trying to put together a puzzle, but you’re missing most of the pieces, and the pieces you do have don’t seem to fit together in any coherent way. That’s just a fraction of what I imagine it might be like to have autism. We tend to take eye contact, subtle facial expressions, and bodily queues for-granted. Try to think about how it is for those who don’t see these social queues. But I believe there is hope. If we combine efforts, I believe we can put the pieces of this puzzle together. Sometimes it can be hard, but we all try to understand each other.
This is my eye. I painted on it.

In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDM autism report, which looked at a sample of eight year olds in 2000 and 2002. This report found that autism is increasing, with one in every 150 American children and almost one in 94 boys having the disability.

Autism tattoo butterfly is my version of the autism symbol of a puzzle with a piece missing. My daughter was diagnosed this year and my husband and I decided to get it done. I chose a butterfly because I know that she will always have autism but with love and support she will fly.
My sister and niece have autism, so I just wanted to show our society that autism does not mean you are "mentally challenged" or there is something wrong with you...their brain just functions differently. They are very smart and special though. While we don't have the cure for autism (yet), we just need to shower them with love and understanding, and they need to know that we are here for them.
If you're puzzled by this person's behavior, it's not his lack of discipline. He is mildly autistic. People with autism are often confused, upset or could be scared and react in ways that are socially inappropriate. They sometimes find it hard to cope with many everyday situations and are quite simply doing their best. Please be understanding and patient.
Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Autism affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys.
The handmade ribbon is from a co-worker who's son has autism.

Curved fronted building beside River Don. This used to be part of the Royal Exchange Brewery that ran alongside the river down Bridge Street (left of shot).
A simple pic of Fiona wearing her new button that she got at the Chicago Walk Now for Autism. It says..."I have autism, Please be nice to my mom" I love it!!! She has another one that says "I'm with neurotypical" with an arrow pointing at the person next to her, but no one ever gets that one. I guess they need to look up the term neurotypical. hehehe. I just thought this was so pretty. She wore her cheerleading uniform to go fundraising for cheerleading door to door. She looked so cute, but as usual, the people in my neighborhood are totally cheap. They won't even stop at a child's lemonade stand. Grrr...... Anyway. I thought she was beautiful and she is so brave when she cheers because it is very difficult for her to get out in front of so many people and then the noise bothers her so much. Last year went well without any stimming on the field, hopefully this year will too :))).

Excuse the blur, I shot this on the fly and I enlarged it.
August 21st was a very unusual day. Yes, there was the eclipse. I had not thought about it, for I was on my way home to Poulsbo from picking up my daughter from Yakima Valley School. It was a vacation for the both of us. Sarah is 44 years old and severely autistic. She lives at home, full time, with her Dad and I, and we are glad to have her coming back home.
The morning of the 21st, my daughter and I were just coming out of our hotel. The eclipse from Washington State was almost a total eclipse. I did get to view it with the help of some very nice people who gave me a pair of their glasses. Sarah was not interested, but I found the eclipse enthralling.
When Sarah and I travel, we like to drive "The road not taken", or at least not taken as often. We stay off the freeways if possible. This way we are able to see interesting and beautiful country and it has been a learning tool. I will stop sometimes and ask questions. At times, I marvel over the people I meet and wonder over bizarre, beautiful, unusual, and colorful roadside art. I enjoy architecture. I laugh at road signs, and bumper stickers. Vintage advertising and neon makes me feel happy.
When I was very young we made road trips all over Ca., sometimes into Oregon. In those times there were BURMA SHAVE signs. I would beg my dad to read the signs to me and then of course, I would ask what they meant. As I got older, my dad would write them down as we passed by (my mother always drove) and then he would help me read them. So you see, I became addicted to the road and to the passing wayside.
I took then and still take many photos on these roads of Wa., Ore., and Ca. A friend of mine once said to me, if we ever traveled together, we would never get anywhere, for he has the same passion for the same things.
But this ramble is not what I want to say here. Tolerance, trust and need, is the thing.
While Sarah and I were on the way home, we drove through a small town (255 households), in eastern Washington. I noticed a man and a dog on a corner. The dog seemed very afraid, but hungry. The man was trying to get the dog to stop following him and kept saying to the dog, "Go home!" The man was not being mean or even unkind, but for some reason this scene bothered me.
I saw through my car windshield, that this dog was dirty and very lean. I drove around the block a couple of times watching this play out and then came to the conclusion that this dog must belong to this guy, but when I noticed a Pit Bull in the front seat of his car, I was not sure this was the case.
I had to gas up, so after that, I took another tour of the town, where I again spotted the dog. It was chasing another dude down the street. Then the dog took out after on a bicyclist. He seemed to be looking from someone. I pulled back into the gas station and watched the dog ((twice) cross the busy highway, nearly being hit by cars. This poor thing was frantic.
I wanted to do something about this situation so at that point, on my knees, I managed to lure it to me with water and salami. It felt a bit like "Dances with Wolves", but I needed to see if it had tags. It did not.
During the process of feeding, the dog never growled or attempted to bite me, she hardly even snapped at the salami. I was amazed.
After a time, and with my daughter's "Ok" (Sarah does not care for animals), I got the dog into the car. I could see that "it" was a "she" and by my reckoning, a young one. After a very tender and quick examination, I saw two very deep cuts on her belly. The shorter one was in the process of healing, the longer was fairly new. I did not want to hurt her, but she allowed me to wash the wounds with water and then dab on some Hydrogen Peroxide.
So now I have this skinny, terrified, brown dog in the seat next to me and I wondered, what the hell am I going to do?
I drove around town, making inquiries at the one and only "watering hole", the market, fire station and a few folks on the street. No one knew the dog or wanted the dog. The only info I had was that the dog had been running the streets for 2 or 3 days. The nearest animal shelter was back in Yakima, which was to far for me to double back. Well, what could I do?
I had an interesting two hundred mile drive, not being prepared to travel with a dog. So I took the strap off of my camera to use for a leash and rearranged my overstuffed SUV, to make it easier for the dog. I improvised a diaper, which did not work and plunged onward. Like my license plate frame says..."Caution: Weird Load".
Despite my making a bed for her in the back, she needed to be with me in the front or with my daughter in the back seat. My daughter was a real trouper...she tolerated the pup snuggling between her and my grand-daughter's car seat. The pup would lick Sarah's hand occasionally, and my daughter let her! I had not expected this experience, because Sarah does not tolerate being touched by people or animals. On the other hand, this little puppy girl seemed to crave human contact and for reasons unknown to me, my daughter understood.
At the end of a long day I pulled into the my hotel which I had booked long before this crazy day, but it was a "no doggie" place. I could only hope that they would take pity on me, my daughter and the dog and let us stay.
They did! As it happened, this was truly a "No tell, hotel", and did not even charge anything extra. They only asked me to say, if I were asked, "Puppy Girl" is a " Service Dog."
I am not affiliated with this hotel chain, but it is Best Western in Chehalis Wa. They have my deep appreciation, and gratitude.
That night in bed with daughter on one side of me and dog on the other side, I wondered what Hubby would say when I got home.
We have two dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, 11 fish in a pond, one in a tank, and feed numerous wild critters, all in the wilds of a residential subdivision, with covenants. But what the hell...It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
With my daughter at home full time, plus two young grand-daughters with us a lot, my house can be loud and chaotic. My husband is a quiet man and enjoys quiet and calm, which he rarely gets. Bless his heart.
Instead of surprising him, I bit the bullet and called him to explain what I had been up to.
The dear man that he is, told me that we would figure it out when all of us got home, but I could feel him shaking his head in disbelief. Then he said, "Don't stop again, God knows what else you'll bring home."
This is the second time in 45 years that I have brought home a dog. I have brought home many wounded wild life, but Seamus was a small black puppy. I found him under a school building, crying and shivering in the rain. What could I do? We loved him and he loved us for 16 years.
I am not the only one who has brought home a puppy or a wounded critter. Larry brought me wounded and road injured critters over the years, hoping I could help them.
One time after we moved from the country to the city, he called me at work and told me that he had a surprise waiting for me in the garage. When I got home, I was thinking...who-hoo, a badly needed new washer and dryer. I got home an opened the garage door and there he was, jumping high in the air with a smile on his face...not my hubby...a dog.
I thought..."Has Larry lost his mind?" We had agreed...no more dogs, for we had just lost our much loved German Shepard. I did not want to love and loose that love again.
Big, black, Max was going to be put down because his original owner could not keep him and no one else wanted him. What else could Hubby do?
We had great times and much love with Max, until he passed away when he was 12. And we grieved deeply, especially my son who carried Max deep into the woods of our favorite camping place and buried him with a sapling tree planted over his grave.
We have had many animals in our family over the years and they have brought such joy, but I admit that I was a bit worried about how our other family members would do with what I was sure would be the "Newbie".
Daniel and Dufuss (our cats), were pissy and hissy with Molly and then with Fiona, but adjusted and are good with the dogs as long as they (the cats) don't run. Sometimes I think the cats run, just to show their prowess and tease the dogs. I chastise the dogs when they chase, but it's kind of fun to watch, especially when all snuggle down together after the romp.
Molly May is our beagle. She is 3 years old, raised in a kennel to hunt rabbits with a pack. She has food issues, but tolerated the puppy girl, right off. Fiona our Lab puppy... well it was just like they were sisters. Talk about chaos and noise, they rarely stop playing until they fall asleep together.
Within an hour of being home, Hubby was in love, as was I... I guess, the first time I watched this brown dog begging on the street.
Mostly my road trips yield photos of things that please me or Sarah, but this time it yielded the picture of trust and tolerance between my daughter and a frightened lost dog.
The obvious name for this girl would have been "Eclipse" or "Naches", the town where I found her. But we wanted to get to know this little girl before giving her a name.
Hubby finally named her "Chloe". In Greek this means, "Blooming" or "Young green shoot".
We have had her for nearly 6 weeks. Chloe loves my grand- babies and all others in my home, except the chickens. We are working on that.
Chloe is blooming. She has grown tall like a river willow in spring, but her face is like the bud of a wild rose.
