I went to a meeting last night, a very informal meeting for parents/grandparents of children with Autism. It was so incredible to sit in a room with people who understand exactly what it's like to deal with meltdowns in public, how amazing it feels to get any sort of communication from your kids, and resources for literature and help dealing with Autism.
I left feeling like I could handle anything, which is pretty great considering how isolated I've felt so far. I'm going to do another post with more details about Autism, but right now I'm super busy. I just had to share how awesome having a support group is.

Have you read Jenny McCarthey's book about her journey with her son and autism? It's incredible! It's a quick read and offers great insight to support groups, therapies and even diet.
In fact...you can have my copy! Let's get lunch one day & I'll bring it to you :)

I didn't know you had an autistic child~ My 9 year old is Asperger's. (High function Austistic) He is AWFUL in public...
Is it your son? Wow, we should talk more. Sheesh! You think you know someone! :)
