just sending a collective hug to you all!

[Guest guest]

I was sitting here this AM sipping my coffee (in between my sons daily AM

meltdowns- lol) and as I read & read & read... I realized that we are all in

this together! There are so many posts that I just wanted to say " hang in

there! " and " I am going through the same thing! " .... but since I barely have

time to sip my coffee... here is a great big hug for all of you... for all of

us!

((((((((((((((( H U G )))))))))))))

We are all in this together! Every day is a struggle. I cry every single day.

I feel joy at the little triumphs and deep deep sadness at the every day

struggles. I question why? I wonder if it is my fault? I think I am a terrible

parent every single day. Then I read the other posts and realize... I am not

the only one. It helps a little bit to know I am not alone.

In honor of Autsim Awareness month- this is what I am doing...

I printed a big stack of the " Ten things a child with Autism wishes you Knew "

list and just handing them out to anyone and everyone... the lady in line at the

grocery store, neighbors, relatives, etc who all think they know better and can

do a better job parenting my children... and just leaving copies of it posted up

on local bulletin boards like the library, the deli, the pizza place, the coffee

shop, the grocery store... etc.

Peace, love, hugs to you all!
