I’m never sure how much personal stuff to write on this blog, but every now and then I feel compelled to share. And so right now, even though I’d rather be writing gift guides and assorted other nonsense, I’m just going to rant. Emmet has Asperger’s Syndrome. Look it up. It’s a disorder related to Autism, but sufferers are said to be “high functioning.” Just looking at him, you’d never know that anything was wrong. But if you spend some time with him, you’ll see that he has trouble with social functioning. Asperger’s sufferers (they call themselves “Aspies”) aren’t good at self-reflection, and they aren’t good at picking up on social cues. They're also (in most cases) uncoordinated, and they tend to have a variety of tics (physical and behavioral). On top of this, Emmet has an anxiety disorder. Emmet’s life is tough. He is in trouble constantly at school because of the little tics that he’s developed, and because of his anxiety, and because he is afraid of going to the bath
Love the flats and the bags. My Christmas wish-list is growing.
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm obsessed with zara and that last bag in particular!!! Thanks for the nice note on my blog -- xo Abbey
ReplyDeleteps i've never bought zara shoes but the quality always seems a little on the low side. Not terrible, but, not great.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are ridiculously cute. Also, they need to stop with the free shipping. That is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to thank you for this info. Those shoes are adorable!
