April Rains

3 weeks ago | briellesvoice.wordpress.com | Stacie Sherman

Autism consumes us, so much so that when non-autism trauma happens in our lives, it throws us. It pushes us to the very edge of our sanity. I haven’t written in a while, but I knew April was coming. I pledged I would write every day in April, as I have done in the past. Because I’m determined to open eyes and share our side of autism. But as April approached, my father went into the hospital. And he never came out. So April for me has been a blur.
The Ties That Bind

Nov 22, 2024 | briellesvoice.wordpress.com | Stacie Sherman

I had my ex-husband and his wife over the other night for wine, beer and charcuterie. This doesn’t happen often. In fact, it was the first time. But it was needed and healing. And a bit unreal. Our anxious adult son, who was working at the time, kept texting my ex to ask if everything was OK. So we sent him this photo:Divorce is tough. It was really tough when we split in 2005 after seven years of marriage. Our kids were 4 and 5.
US House Results Hinge on Ranked-Choice Voting. How RCV Works

Nov 11, 2024 | bloomberg.com | Stacie Sherman |Gregory Korte

The vast majority of elections in the US are guided by plurality rule: Each voter selects one candidate, and the person with the most votes wins. Critics say this system, while simple to grasp, means voters can’t fully express their views when more than two candidates are running for an office. An alternative way to vote, called ranked-choice voting, allows voters to rank candidates from favorite to least favorite. Attention focused on the system after the Nov.

The Clock Ticks

Oct 13, 2024 | briellesvoice.wordpress.com | Stacie Sherman

Lately I feel like there’s a clock counting down the days until Brielle is no longer living at home with me and my husband. Even though we have no set day or time or place for when Brielle leaves us and moves into a residential program, the fact that we have been approved for funding means it is no longer something extremely vague and far into the future. It’s coming, and we’re not ready.

Waves of Grief

Sep 7, 2024 | briellesvoice.wordpress.com | Stacie Sherman

It was not until I became Brielle’s mama that I realized the incredible bond between mother and daughter. Don’t get me wrong, I love my son just as much. But the relationship is different. Perhaps because of Brielle’s special needs, she and I are closer than I ever thought possible. I feel like I need to be. I need to anticipate her wants and needs. I need to intuitively understand what is making her sad or frustrated. I need to recognize her noises, to interpret her movements.
Invest in Yourself

Sep 3, 2024 | briellesvoice.wordpress.com | Stacie Sherman

Here’s a piece of advice for my fellow exhausted caregivers: don’t let it consume you. Acknowledge the stress, plan an hour or two or a whole day of stress-free living for yourself, and then look forward to losing yourself in it. I get a break from caretaking every other weekend when my daughter spends time with her dad and his family a state away. And on the weekends that my daughter is home with us, I usually arrange for a caregiver to give me some respite, at least a day, more if possible.
