A Brooklyn novelist and mother is  finally bringing a long-dreamed-of project to light Please check out her new blog, SPECIAL FOCUS (www.specialfocusblog.blogspot.com).

ABOUT SPECIAL FOCUS:

Twelve-year-old "Sasha" is a gifted reader, writer and artist.  She’s
humorous, messy, and did I mention GORGEOUS? She’s also diagnosed with
Asperger’s Syndrome and ADHD.

"Mo" is a darn cuddly and kibbitzy seven-year-old, always
ready with a smile or, more likely, a joke and a "Yo dude, how’s it
goin’?!" Mo has central auditory processing difficulties and, like his
sister, distraction & focus issues and, while I’m confessing, has
difficulty sitting down for more than five seconds.

Sasha and Mo are keeping their parents, "Ozzie" and "Not
Harriet" mighty sleep-deprived. But in that state, I tend to get
philosophical about the intricacies of this, our Special Life.

Here’s how the blogger describes her site:

"The site features my personal, philosophical essays on being a special needs parent. You’ll also find these special sections:

      *  SPECIAL SMARTS – Clever or amusing things my kids say and do.

      *  SPECIAL BOOKS – Book lists on parenting, psychology, special
needs, Asperger’s Syndrome, and a special section for kids’ books.
Book reviews too!
