Trampolining! Or at least they do if its Megan! We’d long heard about the positive calming effect of bouncing that some autistics reported so last year we bought a bloody great trampoline, replete with safety cage and she loved it. Today is the first day she can use it since last year as the weather has suddenly broken into Spring one week early.

Yes, this is a different topic than typical for this blog. But, let’s consider a simple and obvious lie by our president: the As is typical for this president, this project involves multiple lies. Here are but two. First, the White House would not be changed itself. Just added to. As noted in a recent […]
How does one recapture trust in the public health system? I can tell you one way to make it worse. Put Mark Baxill to work at the CDC. Mr. Blaxill is a long time anti-vaccine activist who has done a lot of harm promoting the “vaccines cause autism” lie. We on this blog have been […]
The same people who might value your efforts with Operation Warp Speed will also be able to do the simple math in their heads that says Mr. Kennedy’s approach is going to kill people. Mr. Trump, there is a lot of chatter about you wanting the Nobel Peace Prize. OK, I know you’ve publicly stated […]
We pay for the CDC. It isn’t there to support Mr. Kennedy’s agenda. It’s there to generate good information that Mr. Kennedy can use or, sadly, not use. He can’t ask them to sign off on dangerous vaccine policy and then cry “restore trust” to excuse firing the trusted experts who are, in his own […]
I will state this straight out–I believe the anti vaccine movement has put good people at risk for decades with their rhetoric. And I also believe Mr. Kennedy has contributed a great deal to this climate of hate. How much or how directly he may have influenced the gunman who opened fire at the CDC […]

YAY!
I have had one of those small, personal-sized trampolines in my son’s bedroom since he was 8 (he’s now 12). He loves it – and being able to go in there whenever he needs to stim has been fantastic.
Congrats on the early spring! 🙂
We’ve got one of those too Shannon as a sort of ’emergency stim’ tool ;o) but Meggy always looks like she wants to get out on her big one and that we’re the cruellest parents ever because we won’t let her out in driving rain/blizzards/storms!
Bloody hell, I want one!
I did have some fun of my own tho, brought my first car today. a 2 litre Diesel!
Then I worked, and I worked. Some nice commission though!
Glad Meg had a good time, such a nice colourful photo as well – Nice one 🙂
Hope Megan has a good time bouncing on her trampoline and the weather stays nice so she can use it.
And at least she won’t be trying to bounce on her bed!
such great fun, jumping over that trampoline 🙂
@Helen – Oh, she still bounces on her bed too ;o)
@15june – Meggy loves it. I must admit it is somehow a very satisfying and zen like activity!
Hey, I stumbled upon your site and since I work with autistic children, it caught my eye. Glad to hear the trampoline is being used once again.
Hi beej – now the weathers turned nice, its all Megs wants to do ;o)
Nice site you have there by the way, was just reading your Autism Awareness post – those seem a much more relevent mantras about ASD than a lot I’ve read. Good to see a professional who cares enough to respect the fact that someones autistic :o)
