M has been in just as many schools. Partly from moving and also because we could never find a good match. Charlie and M have a lot in common. I want to watch the movie online. I only hope I can get time to do so with M leaving me alone soon. Wow. M has been in just as many schools. Partly from moving and also because we could never find a good match.

We're all so into musicals (movie & stage) that if anyone ever says something that reminds us of a song (no matter if it's from a show or the radio or whatever), we will sing it - or at least a line from it.

I don't have HBO so I have to wait until the movie goes to DVD before I can watch it. Kudos to Elaine Hall for creating a project that allows autistic kids to express themselves and have fun, together. I wish there was a program like this where I live. My son loves to sing and "act", so I could certainly picture him being part of the Miracle Project. I can't say our family life is like a musical, but I use some of my son's favorite songs sometimes to explain him new concepts. And we always had little singing duets...
