You caught ...Pardon my delay in posting a comment. You caught me off guard in two ways. The first being never having been exposed to your serious side and the second that your post strikes a personal chord. The concerns and trials that you and Kim speak of, I too know first hand. My eldest son is has ASD. I do believe in may ways we fear more and worry more for kids like ours as the world can be abrasive. Ignorance abounds and parents, as well as other adults, teach it to kids. Both by what they say and do and by what they don't say and do. I do think we also celebrate the milestones more too as they come with greater struggle and anticipation. If you are lucky you have friends and family who are supportive, and understanding of your kids --- when you kids are special and you still have those people in your life it's amazing. Parents of special needs kids share a bond - we just get it. We live it. So my prayers to you both! May you always have the strength to be your child's advocate & hero.Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589326183749752511.post-136015398665387832011-02-25T09:04:48.520-05:002011-02-25T09:04:48.520-05:00Wow, I don't know what to say.

I wish more people where like you! I see how parents allow there kids to miss treat others on the playground simply because they are to lazy to get up or stop chatting to do so! Keep up the go work.

As we move forward the more scared I get Parker is 8 & now showing signs of regression. Things are not getting easier as i had hoped but are getting harder. I fear High School & the cruelty of kids who can't understand Parker. I am also worried about Hank who bears a heavy burden by being Parkers protector. You posted some good books I love the book 10 things .... & although I don't believe in Jenny McCarthys thoughts on Autism she does have some great ideas ! Keep the Blogs coming & maybe some day people will get it & understand how hard life is for our children & that even the simple things they take for granted are long hard struggles for our ours!kimnoreply@blogger.com
