30 seconds inside my son's autistic mind series: Tech Savvy

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 02:00:00 +0000

My son has always been good with electronics and electronic devices.

It is hard to explain how, but he can figure out things on his own.

Therefore, I decided to show you what he did to a phone that he was allowed to use.

Today, the individual texted the above message to me because they can not undo what he did to their phone.

This is just sample size of his talent and a showcase of one of his strengths.

He is truly gifted when it comes to technology and electrical devices.

Autistic 6-year-old shot 5 times, killed during police pursuit

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 17:25:00 +0000

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/autistic-6-year-old-shot-killed-during-police-pursuit-in-louisiana-report-says/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7QCZdfLjOI

An innocent boy was killed. I am mad at his father for running from

the police with his 6 year old son in the car. I am also confessed because the police opened fire on the car,

and I wondered if they could have reacted differently. How come they did not ram the car? If it is true that

dad started to back up after driving onto a dead in street? A report stated

that the boy was killed by a bullet in the line of fire. How was the boy in line of fire?

If the dad was in the driver seat then the son was also in the driver seat?

The article also stated that the son had multiple gunshot wounds to head

and chest. Multiple shots to the head and chest, to a six year boy who was a passenger in the car.

6 year boy who was autistic is now dead.

He is dead because his father thought it was a good idea to run from the police and the police thought firing

at the car was the best course of action. This is hurts me more because I live Louisiana and I have a son

who is autistic.

Imagine if the car would have had a sticker that said " child with autism on board".

Please leave a comment below and express your feelings on the topic.

How to explore the neighbor's bedroom?

My son loves to explore new surroundings.
He has an excellent memory and can recall places previous visited.

While visiting a neighbor's apt., my son wanted to look inside the bedroom.
I told him to stay in the living room.
Unfortunately, he was highly motivated and now determined to see what was inside that room.

How can I see what is inside that room, without getting into trouble doing?
Looking back at it now, he quickly thought of a plan and executed it.

My son threw his iPad into the bedroom, so he looked inside the room.
Then he picked up his tablet and returned to the living room.
I was speechless and impressed at how he managed to accomplished his goal.

Hamburger Hands

The kids and I played a game of stacking hands.

And during the game, he said " Hamburger Hands".

It is simply amazing how he comes up with these phrases.

Therefore, this game reminded him of an online game he played.

And in the game, he had to build or stack a hamburger.

Down Hug

My son loves to get on my back.

Due to his limited word bank, he created the phrase: Down Hug.

Down Hug translated means: daddy get down, so I can get on your back.

Imagine what getting on someone´s back and hugging looks like for his perspective and it does make sense.

His arms are around my neck and when you hug someone, you place your arms around them.

Scratchy Wheels

My son got scratched while playing with his bike and he tried to tell me what happened. He kept repeating

Autistic Student Found Dead on School Bus After Being Left There All Day

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Wed, 16 Sep 2015 18:06:00 +0000

http://www.popsugar.com/moms/Autistic-Boy-Dies-Hot-Bus-38426508

I discovered the article above while researching for autism news. Please copy and the paste the link below to read the full article. My heart goes out to the Lee family and I will keep them in my prayers. However, I sadden by how this family loss their autistic son and no one has explanation on how or why this happened. I also have a son who rides the bus to school, so I completely understand how the Lee family felt safe and secure about their son safety. My sons' bus drops him off directly in front of the school then he is escorted to his class. In conclusion, no child should be left on a school bus from 8 am to 4 pm, and whether it is a substitute driver or not. This is even more important for special need drivers because we as parents trust them with our safety and livelihood, and these mistakes can not happen.

30 seconds inside my son's autistic mind series

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:10:00 +0000

As a father raising a son with autism, I always wondered what was going on inside my son's brain.

What are his thoughts? How does he see the world around him? How do we sound to him? I have so

many questions that can only be answered by him; unfortunately, he is not able to do so at the

moment. However, last year he started revealing a glimpse of his thoughts and how he possessed the

world around him. My purpose for this series is to share his thoughts, actions and reasoning skills to

parents who have a child with autism and parents who do not.

8-year-old boy with autism arrested, put in straitjacket

http://www.wnem.com/story/27842544/couple-suing-after-8-year-old-son-arrested-put-in-straight-jacket#.VL-hhgXE1Ak.gmail

I discovered the article linked above, about an 8 year old boy with autism that broke my

heart.This story hits home for me because my son is 9 years old with autism and have meltdowns too.

The school and law enforcement failed this child. Unfortunately, due to their poor judgement and lack

of knowledge, this little boy has a criminal record, which could have been avoided. This is also why I

feel teachers, police officers and first responders need training about autistic behaviors and

individuals. Resources are available, due to the rapidly increasing numbers of individuals being

diagnosed with autism. As a dad who attends autistic training and workshops regularly, I realized

that the people in authority, who will benefit from these training the most, do not attend.

Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,.."

I do not want my son or any individual with autism harmed or injured or destroyed because society

refused to learn how to interact with people who have autism. As parents our job is to protect our

children, and we are told to trust teachers and police officers to protect our children when they are

away from home. Then, this incident happens and our worst fears become reality.

As a result, this boy now has another issue to deal with along with his autism.

His parents who followed proper procedure to prevent incidents like this from happening, now must

try to help their autistic son get over this terrible experience. An experience that he does not

understand and one that will remain with him for the rest of his life. Sadly, the articles does not

mention that he will be labeled as a violent child, as a result of his meltdown and arrest.

Bedtime Dance Party Featuring Ed Sheeran (1-15-15)

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:52:00 +0000

My kids finished saying their prayers, and I did not feel like reading a bedtime story tonight.

Instead, I decided to play music videos on YouTube.

The first video I played was: Ed Sheeran - I See Fire (Hobbit Soundtrack)
http://youtu.be/2fngvQS_PmQ

This is a beautiful song, with a smooth melody, calming vocals, and great for a relaxing mood.
However, I got no reaction from the kids at all, so I decided to play another Ed Sheeran song.

The second video I played was: Ed Sheeran featuring Pharrell Williams - "Sing"
http://youtu.be/tlYcUqEPN58

As the song played, I started to sing the lyrics that were appropriate for kids to sing along with me.

Next, I stood up and danced because I wanted the kids to focus on me and not the video due to some

adult content. (Nightclub scene) The kids loved this song or loved my dancing and singing and before

I knew it, they were up and dancing with me. The three of us, was having an impromptu bedtime

dance party together as a family. We were having fun! Once video ended, each of them received a hug

and kiss, and I told them goodnight.

What have I done? I wonder if the kids will request another Bedtime Dance Party.

Disclaimer: "I see the fire" video contains scenes that might not be suited for all kids, such as: fire burning objects, a dragon, creatures and etc. "Sing" video contains scenes that might not be suited for all kids, such as: adults at a nightclub, alcohol and etc.

The Follow Up

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Thu, 01 Jan 2015 13:12:00 +0000

Disclaimer: If you have not read "The incident that happened 2 days after Christmas"; then, please do so now before you read " The Follow Up".

The Follow Up

Two days had passed since the incident happened, but it still bothers me. My daughter was dropped off this morning, and the departing words of her mother were: “give your brother, his cookies.” After having dropped our son off, two days earlier, and not calling once to check on him, the only mention of his name from her was about him getting some cookies that she sent in a bag; unbelievable! No mention of her missing him and that she hated to return him home early. This's the part which bothered me the most; because, I should not be the only one who feels this way about our son. Nevertheless, she just gave the final instruction to our daughter, and off she went.

What was my reaction after the first phone call?

My initial thought was why she would ask me that question about bringing her to his medication. After all, my car is broken (which is knows this) and she has transportation. Once she decided to keep the kids on Friday, she could have picked up his medicine. Originally, I was told that she would only be off on Christmas Eve (Wednesday) and Christmas Day (Thursday), which usually meant that the kids would return home on Friday. I figured that it would be okay because I would give him his medicine after he got home. However, she decided to keep them; while being fully aware that she did not have his medicine.

The Bottom Line

According to Google Maps, she stays 2 miles from my apartment, and it is a 6 minute drive to her place. If she wanted our son to have his medicine; then she would have driven to get it!

Actions speak louder than words!

On Thanksgiving Day, she picked the kids up before they ate dinner. When the kids told her they were hungry, she called me. I explained that she picked them up prior to them eating their dinner. Guess what happened next? She drove back to my place got their dinner, and “claimed” that she did not have any food or money; then she explained that she will go grocery shopping and cook the following day.

What was my reaction after the second phone call?

Honestly, I do not care about how much it would cost her to replace their tablets. I was more concerned with what caused my son to break something that he enjoys. My other thoughts were, where was the babysitter? How could my son break two tablets on the same day? My son knows how to plug up an iPads to charge it. Recently, he was caught charging up his iPad Mini he received this year for Christmas from me. My thoughts forced me to think about endless scenarios; such as, why did the other little boy let my son break his tablet? Was my son alone with two tablets? Once again, where was the babysitter?

The Bottom Line

My son loves and enjoys electronic devices, but his favorite device is an iPad. He would not break an iPad unless something was wrong with it.

The Knock at the door!

One hour later, after the second phone call ended, there was a knock at my door. My son and his mother stood before me. I did not get an explanation as to why she only had him. Furthermore, she was not there to pick up his medicine; instead she dropped him off. Finally, I asked what time our daughter will return home. She replied she was not ready to leave because she was having fun, but she will return her home tonight. It was not easy, but I held my words and closed the door. Her behavior is just ridiculous; because, she was willing to make two separate trips to drop off each child, but not willing to make one trip to get his medicine verses returning him home.

Winners & Losers

Obviously, I felt that my daughter and her mother were the “only major” winners. The mother of my children got to spend an extra day and ½ with only our daughter. In fact, it was more than just our daughter, the son of her boyfriend and their daughter together were there as well. My daughter was happy because she finally got to spend additional time with her mother without her brother.

Surprisingly, there’s a small part of me that believed that my son won too. My destroyer of tablets appeared pleased with his mother's decision to return him home. Without any prompting, he cleaned his room and was not upset when I did not give him his iPad that night. Instead, he appeared to be a little disappointed, but he played on the computer with no problems. While I prepared his dinner, he found his sister’s tablet which is not an iPad and he did not break it. He even put it back in the box where he found it. Later on, he found his iPad Mini, plugged it into the charger, and played with it together with the computer.

I also feel as if he lost; because, he has never been alone with his mother without his sister. I realized that it is completely possible for her to give him quality one on one time with his sister present, but I do not believe this has happened. I found out from my daughter, my son returned home because he did not have medicine. And that her mother returned to her place with crawfish after dropping our son off, and that was unfortunate because my son loves crawfish. So he missed out on crawfish; as well, because his mother chose to bring him home early and without feeding him crawfish.

How could a mother abandon her son when he needs her the most?

Our 9yr old son, has been diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder, and this was his second major meltdown that caused his mother to return him home early. The mother of my children decided twice that it was easier to return our son instead of learning how to deal with him after he has a major meltdown. I am concerned about this because, of the repeated behaviors of his mother, I am afraid that my son has learned that he will return home if he has a meltdown.

The More You know

The children were told not to charge the tablets and to leave them in their cases by their mother prior to her leaving for work on the day of the incident. However, the tablets were not placed out of reach and naturally my son wanted to play with his tablet. According to my daughter, the babysitter was on the balcony and my son was in the room with the tablets. My son brought the tablets to the babysitter when he could not charge them. The broken tablets were placed on top of the refrigerator afterwards. The tablets that were broken were not iPads. Why is this relevant? The only tablet my son is experienced with is an iPad, and the tablets were broken by accident.

Why did I write this response?

I wrote this because my heart hurts for my son even though he does not understand that he being treated wrong by his mother. He deserves the same privileges as his sister and “those” other children. After having fought the school system to have him in “inclusion” (educated as a normal or typical child), I never thought I would have to deal with Inclusion issues with his mother!

Final Question?

· If our daughter or one of the other two children would have broken the two tablets; would they have been brought home like our son was?

Please leave a comment below to share your thoughts with me on this subject matter.

The incident that happened 2 days after Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 05:10:00 +0000

The First Phone Call: 12/27/14 9:12a.m.

Mother: “I was supposed to bring the kids home on Friday, but I will bring them back tonight.”

§ She also pointed out that she does not have my son’s medicine and he has gone two days without medicine.

Me: I told her to “come get his medicine.”

Mother: “I am at work and do not get off until 3pm. Can you bring the medicine to my apartment?”

Me: “My car is broken, and I do not have a ride.”

The Second Phone Call: 12/27/14 3:38 pm

Mother: “Our son broke his tablet.” and the tablet that belonged to her friends’ son. “It is going to cost me $200 for them both. What are we going to do about making sure that this does not happen again?”

Me: “You will get his medicine.”

Mother: She hung up the phone.

The Knock at the Door about an hour later

My son and his mother stood at the door.

Mother…

Me: “What time will our daughter return home?”

Mother: “She was not ready to return home and was still playing. She will be home tonight.”

§ My daughter was not returned home that night, but two days later.

My text message: 12/27/14 @ 11:18pm

Me: “Where is my daughter? You said when you dropped off my son that you were dropping her off tonight too. I am waiting for her.”

The response Sunday Morning: 12/28/14 @ 6:12 am

Mother: “She is with me, what do you think? She wasn’t ready to go. I will bring her back when I get off.”

Text Message: 12/28/14 @ 8:02 pm

Mother: “I am tired and my tooth is killing me. I just took meds. I will drop her off in the morning on my way to work. It’s raining. Expect her at 6:30 sharp.”

Text Message: 12/29/14 @ 6:10 am

Mother: “We are on the way”

My Final thoughts

She lied twice about bringing our daughter home. The rain has never stopped her from dropping the kids off in the past nor has the cold.

I will discuss how I feel about this matter in the follow up, to this story.

Copper Sole Socks Review

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 11:07:00 +0000

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchanged for a honest review from Buzz-agent.

Copper Sole Socks ( From Media Kit)

The term Athlete’s Foot is a little misleading. In fact, 70% of all people will develop Athlete’s Foot at some point in their life. You know what all those people have in common? It’s not a 40 inch vertical – they all have feet.

And, we’re guessing, so do you. But with Copper Sole socks you can put your worst foot fears to rest when you wear them at least 8 hours a day for around 4 weeks. They’re the only socks that contain EPA-registered Cupron AntiFungal Fibers. These special yarns are infused with copper ion technology which prevents and eliminates Athlete’s Foot fungus on the sock, killing 99.9% of it after 12 hours of contact.

Even if you’re sure your feet are fungus-free, you’ll be wowed by what these socks can do. The Cupron AntiFungal Fibers also eliminate and prevent foot odor, rejuvenating your feet while improving their appearance and elasticity. After only 4 weeks of wear you’ll notice a huge difference.

WHERE TO STOCK UP ON SOCKS?
Copper Sole wanted to make sure they made this exciting new technology available as soon as possible. In order to do that, though, you’ll currently only find the socks available online at coppersole.com/premiumsocks. But keep an eye out, as they’ll be available in stores next year!

KEEP YOUR SOCKS ON
In order to experience the full benefits of Copper Sole socks you’ll need to wear them for at least 8 hours a day. It’s starting to get chilly out there, so we imagine you’ll want to keep your toes warm, anyway. Plus, you can even wear them to bed every night and never wake up with stinky feet again.

My Review

I would like conclude this review about Copper Sole Socks using only 2 words Thank You!
These socks were simply the best socks I have ever had and I really mean that. I wore these socks for 8 hours as suggested and I did not want to take them off. My feet felt amazing the whole time I had them on.

Here are some benefits of using the Copper Sole Socks as stated on their website.

Guaranteed to kill athlete's foot on the sock, prevent & eliminate foot odor, & improve the condition of your feet. Powered by Cupron™ Antifungal Fibers

Only socks with Cupron™ AntiFungal Fibers have EPA registered fibers that kill 99.9% of Athlete's

Foot fungus on the sock after 12 hours of contact.

I may not understand what the above statements mean but these made my feet feel like they were loved.I have never walked on a cloud before, but these socks felt just as soft when walking in them.
I would recommend that athletes and non athletes buy these socks because these awesome socks will provide the comfort that your feet deserves.

WISDOMANTICS: AN INTERACTIVE DVD BOARD GAME (TV Plug & Play) Review

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 01:24:00 +0000

Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by FlyBy Blog Promotions. All opinions are my own. I received a free copy of the game for participation.

Wisdomantics–New King James Version (NKJV) (From Media Kit)
is an interactive DVD board game for players of various faiths who desire to gain the vast wisdom of King Solomon. Wisdomantics-NKJV utilizes the proverbs of Solomon and blends chance, knowledge and strategy to create a fun experience while you learn! We are currently developing Wisdomantics-New International Version (NIV), a variation of the original game. This version of the Holy Bible is considered by some to be more mainstream and will allow us to reach a broader scope of consumers. The game’s intent is to bring individuals together to learn how to cope with numerous situations in a fun and relaxed environment.

Wisdomantics utilizes 2 DVDs which contain 400 multiple-choice questions/proverbs. There is a built-in variable timer which automatically adjusts for 1st, 2nd and final attempt questions. The DVD will grade your response and King Solomon will quote the proverb when you answer correctly.
Finally, the DVD will instruct players when to draw a specialty card which will enable them to navigate the game board.

The game board illustrations chronicle Solomon’s life! They begin with his most notable acts and achievements and end with a divided kingdom through disobedience and rebellion. Hear King Solomon quote his wise biblical truths. The audio-visual element is a huge plus and adds greater depth to the game. Players may also strategize with specialty cards, which can skip or detain opponents, recover lost assets, and provide protection from adverse scenarios. To replicate Solomon’s temple, players receive colored tiles (gold, cypress and cedar) as they navigate the game board. The first player to complete their Solomon’s temple scorecard wins!

Here is a link to video clips about the game:
http://www.wisdomantics.com/wisdomanticsvide.html

My Review

The Good

Awesome game for the whole family and friends
This game has blessing cards!
You can play the game with the DVD and Board or with just the DVD's

The Not So Good

The game is not recommended for kids under 12
Blessing cards do contain actual blessings

Unfortunately, I could not play this game with my kids because my kids are 7 and 9 yrs old and I am a single parent. While the board game portion of the game was easy for my kids, the questions were a little advance for their age. Nevertheless, the game reminds me of a combination of Monopoly, Bingo & Taboo because it contains elements from each game.The option to play the game using only the DVD's was a good idea. My only let down was the blessing cards because I wanted each card to have a reward attached to it. However, the Achievement cards do offer rewards and obstacles that help determine if you will win or lose the game. Overall, it is a good board game that I can play with friends and my kids when they get older.

HOT WHEELS® RC STREET HAWK™ The Good, Bad & Awesome Review

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Sat, 13 Dec 2014 02:40:00 +0000

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchanged for a honest review from Buzz-agent.

The Good

Ladies and Gentlemen the Street Hawk comes already assembled.
The instructions are easy to read and understand.
It only needs to charge for 40 mins and then its time to fly.

The Bad

The Street Hawk is made out of Styrofoam and fragile.
The propellers on the wings are very small and can come off.
The wheels are tin and should be use driven on smooth surfaces.
In drive mode, the Street Hawk can not move in reverse.

The Awesomeness

The Street Hawk looks awesome and cool.
The Street Hawk looks like a flying car because it is a flying car.
The Street Hawk's Styrofoam body provides protection from breaking.
Did I mention that it really does fly?

Final Thoughts

All the neighbor kids wanted to see the Street Hawk fly.
My kids loved it and could not trying to make it fly.

My son with autism only enjoys playing video games and electronic devices. However, once he saw the Street Hawk, he could not put it down.

If the Street Hawk can pull my son away from electronic devices then it gets my recommendation.
Buy the Street Hawk! Your kids will love it.

The worst Frozen Beef Patties in the world!

noreply@blogger.com (couponhustla) — Sat, 13 Dec 2014 01:49:00 +0000

Dear Readers,

I wanted to treat my kids to hamburgers and homemade potato fries, but instead I discovered a terrible beef product, no one should try, ever. I beg you, please do not buy Flanders 8 quarter pound beef patties, even if the meat is on sale. I can't get my money back.

Flanders 8 quarter pound beef patties is terrible. Flanders does not taste like meat at all, or at least, any meat I ever had. Hamburgers served to kids in the cafeteria are better.

This experience reminds me of the episode of Good Times when the Evan's family bought some bad meat and tried to get the store manager to eat the meat, but refused to do so.

I feel the box should read beef substitute because it does not taste like meat. I have had veggie burgers that taste better.

I am thankful my kids tried it, but I will not give the meat to my kids again. I decided to try these patties, instead of believing other product reviews out there. I read one where the reviewer said the food was bad. I now believe her or him.

I am disappointed in myself, as a parent, for tasting the meat before feeding the kids Flanders. I do not recommend this meat.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Chex Party Mix

Fun, quick recipes are the best during a busy Holiday season. The other night our family made this Mexican Hot Chocolate Chex Party Mix and it was a hit! It was easy to make and certainly easy to eat! The only hard thing about is was not eating it all by myself. It has a great crunch and sweetness to it, with a good hint of cinnamon. Perfect to serve at a party. We also put bags of it in the kids school lunches for a fun dessert. I followed the recipe below. I did sneak in a couple of extra cups of cereal, just to give us a little more to eat and it turned out fine!

My Review

I am a big fan and supporter of Veggie Tales and I could not wait to review this product by its creator.

The DVD was very informative and gave a good account of with happen in the New Testament. The dvd explains the origins of each book in the New Testament as well as the story of Jesus Christ.

The DVD features a hand full of puppets are fun loving comedic characters who the kids will enjoy. They will ask questions, sing songs and repeat important messages and points. In conclusion, I thought the DVD did a good job retelling the story of Jesus for kids. My kids and I watched it together and after 20 mins both of my kids were asleep. However, I also thought a times that it gave too much detail for kids and will lose their attention over time. I recommend that you try both series and see which one works for you.
