I haven’t updated the blog recently, for reasons that actually tie into my family life.

My daughter, who I call “Ocelot” online, is 14. My readers with teenaged girls understand how difficult this age is. Ocelot is filled with stress, anger and a bit of depression. I’m getting some of it, but most of her anger is reserved for her Dad.

It doesn’t help that he has AS, and is at a loss as to how to relate to her in a way that (he feels) preserves his dignity and authority but does not send Ocelot into fits of rage.

I’m starting to research teenage girls with Aspergers/PDD-NOS, and haven’t found much yet. If any of you can point me to some useful info, on paper or online, I would be grateful — and I’ll summarize my findings here.

I love the graphic quality of this ... a rainbow with each color written in its hex code. Other products use the same raw image, rotated and scaled in different ways. Visit Product Page ...
