Career Aspirations


"When I grow up I want to be Santa Claus.  And I will give presents to all the boys and girls.  And my bedtime on Christmas Eve will be at 6am in the morning.  And I will not die, because Santa does not die."


2014 Santa photo with the family. An oldie pic, but a goodie

That is a lofty career aspiration from my eight year old.  But if he wants to be Santa, I have no doubt that he will be Santa.

He has also wanted to be a yoga instructor, a Doctor, and now most recently, a Dentist.

This past week, he had a dental check up.  He has been going to a Dentist since he was two years old. We have made concessions for him in order to be a positive experience.  In therapy we played Dentist for a month straight before an appointment.  At his appointments, he would cry, scream, and kick.  But of recent he has really gotten the hang of it.

This last visit, he was a rockstar.  A dental patient rockstar.  (there has to be such a thing, right?)

We arrived at 4.  He knew the office closed at 4:30.  When he was called back, he said to the Hygienist, "I'm your last customer of the day!"  He chatted it up with the her.  Talking about the blue cupcake he ate at school for his friend's birthday.  He asked her about her work schedule and if she worked everyday.  At one point she said, "OK Jonathan.  You need to stop talking so I can brush your teeth."

During his check up, he said, "Um Nurse.  There is something I should tell you.  I need pictures of my teeth." The kid was ASKING for x-rays.  So she obliged.  She suggested we do a panoramic x-ray.  And he did great listening and staying still while they did the x-ray.  When the results came back to the computer, he asked me if we could take a picture of it.  He also was really into all the notes she took.  He even got to give me an "exam."


His X-ray.  Kinda freaky

Learning the documentation program early 
So while he was making the Hygienist laugh with his inquisitive and funny dialog, the big man arrived.  The Dentist.

"Dr. T!  I'm so happy to see you.  How was your Christmas?  I got a Lego Fire Transporter!"
Dr T. laughed.  He has been seeing Jonathan for a while  I think he likes the kid.

When Jonathan asked his birthday and license plate number, it was no problem.  They even went to a window to take a picture of his car.  When Jonathan mentioned it was after 4:30, and the office was closed, the Dentist laughed and told Jonathan that sometimes they need to work a little bit over.  And that was OK.  Lastly, Jonathan wanted to make sure he got a picture with his favorite Dentist.  Jonathan said "I want to be like you."


Two Rockstars in one picture!

It was one of the most positive dental experiences.  And the kid was so excited all day to go there.  This was a perfect appointment; years in the making.

I am so proud.  I'm sure this is how Santa's mother feels too.

  2. HOW I WAS CURED TOTALLY FROM AUTISM
    I had my first attack of (AUTISM) when I was 20, I wasn't diagnosed until seven years later when I was totally experiencing speech delay. It was so terrifying that I began dropping things and losing sensitivity to sounds, having severe fatigue and muscle weakness. A horrible poor eyes contact began. I sometimes can't walk straight and fall onto walls and I get leaning disability, the English medications i used proved abortive. i was so frustrated that i had to contact My neurologist,he told me about a new RRMS (relapsing-remitting MS) drug which was only in its trial stage, CAMPATH. I started the chemo-type treatment and some prescribed drugs like: RISPERDAL, EFFEXOR XR, GEODON and MEMANTINE. which resulted in 1st seizure of my life, thereby adding more salt to my injury. As a result to proffer solution to my problems, i started going online in search for a cure, i came across a testimony of a woman who got her cure through HERBAL MEDICATION, at first, i doubted because of the misconception that autism can not be cured. But i later contacted the Doctor through the email provided, and I used his Herbal product, after 1 month of use, I noticed tremendous improvement in my health, 5 months after, I can proudly say, I've been totally cured by Dr.williams Herbal Medication from AUTISM..., If you have the same health issue, you may contact him for a total change of story, Via:autismepilepsy.blogspot.com . I believe your predicament will be a thing of the past just like mine.

  3. As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication, , and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication.

  4. Doctor Williams Natural Cure to Autism,I have ever prayed to share my testimony so others would read and have a reason to fight on for there sons. I know you receive hundreds of testimonies; I pray mine will be published one day.I was a High School teacher until my retirement from classroom.

    Back when I was a teaching, I prided myself in my excellent memory.my son Having the ability to recall facts, speak eloquently, and mentor others, was all I lived for. my son was having a nice life, life was going fine until one day I noticed that my son memory wasn’t what it used to be. he was struggling to recall and retain facts. This was what he did with ease. he struggled to increase his study time and pace, because he felt he was not doing enough. As the year progress, he discovered that the more he studied, the less he recall. we all thought It was something normal, he had spent part of his life sitting down reading everything on ink and print. As time progressed, symptoms became frequent with other complications. As a result, I visited my doctor who advised I should visit a neurologist for my son proper diagnoses.My visit to a neurologist proved he had what is called classic" autism . Well before them, I have heard of children with autism, but classic" autism wasn’t a familiar word I had associated with autism. I went for further search in the internet; talked to doctors I know and even talked to autism foundations to broaden my knowledge of what my son we be facing.
    There were lots of constraints living with autism. he had to abide with certain do’s and don’ts he wasn’t used to. his autism were getting worst. Phonation and other drugs which are Anti-autism drug were prescribed to try and stop his speech delay, but none proved suitable. Instead his liver reacted badly to the first drugs. The second drug failed to control the autism. he began to feel very dejected and for the first time started to feel depressed.On these autism days of his life, i took care of me son, drove him around and ensures he stayed on his meds.

    I was told by my doctor never to take a single break without him taking his meds. Hell! I obeyed. I don’t want anything to happen to my son. But ironically, these Conventional Medications were killing him base on the side effect. I know they were,but was afraid of stopping it so the condition wont get worst,In desperation, I started visiting neurologists looking for a cure. Because he had stayed on these English medications long enough and he have not gotten a cure except more complications.

    I wanted other natural alternative devoid of side effects created by Phonation and other anti-autism drugs. Well, my search continued until someone suggested Herbs as a better alternative to treatment. But what do I know about Herbs, I am not an Herbalist so I know little about Herbs. I did more findings on various blogs where I saw lots of comment where people shared testimonies’ of being cured from autism , Herbs had cured people diagnosed of autism, so mine son won’t be an issue.I needed to get Herbal medication for my son autism. So I read a lot of blogs where people who shared their testimonies kept mentioning WILLIAMS Anti-Autism Herbal medication. I searched for a blog on Williams didn’t find one. I just followed the email address of Doctor Williams that was shared on these testimonies; I got lucky when I got a reply from Dr. Williams on how to get the medication from his customer service, I followed his instruction, which my son use in less than 1 months, his frequent autism reduced drastically. Within a period of 1 months, he was cured. I went back to my neurologist, where my son was checked up and marked autism free.Long story right… I can’t say all this in 10 lines, but if you are reading this, I want you know that Williams is the main drug for you in the cure for autism. It worked for my son; I believe it will work for you also. for more information on how to get his product you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
