April 2, 2011: Mark your calendars

April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. Its a day that has special significance for our family. My fantastic "pamangkin" (nephew) was diagnosed early with mild autism (Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) and his parents immediately sought intervention. Early diagnosis and early intervention have done wonders for him. The various therapies that comprise his intervention are all geared to lessen the associated deficits of the disorder, reduce familial distress, and more importantly increase his quality of life and functional independence. Tomorrow, Joaquin will be graduating from kindergarten and will be joining a "bigger" school.



Supporting World Autism Awareness Day helps our world know more of the autism epidemic & allows us to share vital information and experiences regarding the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. And, just as importantly, we celebrate the unique talents and skills of persons with autism.



Mark your calendars. April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day!

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.
