This was to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary two years ago. This photo took nearly three hours to achieve. They had their favorite Gymboree outfits on and I was sweating from chasing my son for the two past hours, holding his torn pants together with my left, and all three of us holding hands to cover up the fact he had pulled my dress open with my right hand. The laughter is real, the hijinx of neurodivergent kids is true, and this is one of my all-time favorite photos. #lovegymboree #autism #asd #neurodiversity #neurorainbow #artisticblissportraits

New post! "Thank you for being a friend..." (See bio for link or www.kelsokids.org) It's been almost ten years of maintaining the blog. Thank you for being supportive of my writing and of my family. I hope I managed to cheer, entertain, or ease the burden of even one person in this journey. I'm looking forward to hearing my kids' versions of their stories now and pursuing new ventures myself. Thank you for being a friend. (The website and blog will still be available. I might occasionally post but I'll no onger maintain a monthly post.) #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi #kelsokids

New post: "Harmony at Halloween: All buckets are welcome at our door!" (See bio or www.kelsokids.org for the link.) Let's give everyone a fun holiday, candy or not. The only mask our kids need to wear is the one they choose for their costume. #acceptance #neurodiversity #equality #kelsokids #bluebucket #tealbucket #happyhalloween #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

New post: "Pesticles and other hazards." (See bio or www.kelsokids.org .) Sorry for my absence. Summers are always hard on us and my health suffers. I'm playing catch up now that the heat has subsided and my hands are no longer swollen. I'm purely giddy when I see the fall leaves! 🍁 #leaferforlife #kelsokids #backtoschool #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi #fall #eds

Someone did a great job with getting a haircut today! (I might have bribed him with wearing pjs, a bacon burrito, screen time, and a new toy car - but, yeah.) So proud of himself ❤️ as I am of him. . #sitstillsalon #littlemomentsbigwins #aumazing #asd #mylovelyweirdos #autism #kelsokids #stylindo #kindergartenbound #mysuperhero #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

New post! See bio or www.kelsokids.org: One square away from despair. . In honor of my friends and fellow parents who've always been there for me with their ideas and support. Whether you're still in the thick of the early days of infamous infants or wrangling the wild creatures in our midst. Always have baby wipes, lots of patience, and requisite humor. . . . #babywipesorbust #diapering #newborns #parentinghacks #pottytraining #kelsokids #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

New post! See bio or www.kelsokids.org: Angry birds and other tales of home repair. . Our daughter's penchant for restorative justice via humor slays yet again in this installment of my husband's talent for calamity. We love him even if mother nature might want to get payback as much as our daughter. . Papa doesn't get cut any slack this weekend. Even on Father's day. Slide through the photos for a good laugh. . #happyfathersday #neurorainbow #autism #asd #aspergers #kelsokids #autismproud #mylovelyweirdos #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

New post, see bio or www.kelsokids.org: "I see 'wit my hands". . We've all heard the expression, “Look with your eyes and not your hands.” Idioms, expressions, euphemisms. They're a reminder of how confusing the world can be for those that are neurodivergent. . Here’s to all of the caretakers, careworkers, parents, neighbors, friends and family of our little emotional pressure pots. May the weather be fair today for you on Mother’s Day and if not that it changes quickly. All of you who care for others, young and old, thank you. . . . #happymothersday #autism #kelsokids #aumazing #adhd #thankyoucareworkers #asd #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

New post: Pursue, defend, retreat (see bio or www.kelsokids.org). A whole weekend away by myself! Once a year I try to get away and have a chance for a warm meal, undisturbed sleep, and to be able to read a book without slapped out of my hands. Here's to all the careworkers of those we love, young and old, you deserve a break. We all do. Thank you to A Mother's Rest for organizing the retreat and helping families like ours. ❤

How do you annoy your sister? Step 1, come home from school. Step 2, insist on watching the world's most annoying show. Step 3, pass out face first like a corpse on top of the remote five minutes into the show. #letsnotgetafterit #siblings #justifiableretaliation #siblinglove #neurorainbow #mylovelyweirdos #kelsokids #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi

Our dining room has been commandeered by our daughter and cat. . What to do when you're little brother drives you crazy and your parents won't give you your own room? You request a tent for your birthday and trick them into giving you your own portable bedroom. Then inform them you won't budge. Glad we could come to an arrangement... . . . #littlebrotherprotest #siblings #autism #asd #aspergers #kelsokids #neurodivergent #kelsokidspooflingerpaparazzi
