Cynthia Magnuson says a typical day in her household is “utter chaos.” She and her husband, Bob, are lucky if they get more than five hours of sleep at night, and “self-care” often consists of uninterrupted time washing the family’s laundry or completing grocery shopping.
Her three young sons Wesley, 8; Grayson, 4; and William, 3 keep her very busy. Her youngest boys whom she refers to as “the littles” are both living with autism spectrum disorder, while her oldest son has been diagnosed with severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and a mood disorder.
“When you’re in these types of circumstances, sometimes it’s so difficult to just do laundry, or just clean something, because it’s a 24/7 job,” Cynthia said. “If I turn my back for two seconds, something bad can happen.”

As of Monday, the 11th grader with severe autism is among an estimated 4.4 million statewide with high-risk medical conditions and disabilities who will join the state’s vaccine priority list, significantly increasing his odds of receiving the doses he needs to once again travel to his family’s home in Paradise Hills.
It has been heartbreakingly clear, said his mother, Maria Espinoza, that her son really, really misses their weekends together.

On a winter night, the A Christmas Story House & Museum looks every bit like a scene from the 1983 movie.

CLEVELAND, Ohio Few movies are more closely associated with a city than “A Christmas Story” is with Cleveland.
Although Jean Shepherd’s short story is largely based on his youth in Hammond, Ind., Cleveland’s enthusiasm for the holiday classic and a number of easy-to-visit filming locations ensure that the Parkers, the Bumpuses and Black Bart are not going anywhere.
