A day in the life

To see a really good video about what it is like to live with autism in your home, go to the Autism Speaks website or this URL: http://www.autismspeaks.org/sponsoredevents/

My husband and I really loved the picture for the video of the mom trying to help the kid get up and walk. We live that everyday when S1 doesn't want to go where we would like him to. One of my favorite parts of the video is when one of the moms talks about how trying to sleep with an autistic child is like sleeping in a frat house. You go to bed in one bed, wake up later on the couch and in the morning are in another room on the floor! S1 is usually a pretty good sleeper but some nights he gets up in the middle of the night and climbs into our bed if we are lucky. If not, it's time to play!

It's so good to know that we are not alone.
