I just read this article and found it interesting. I think I might try to do this and see how ours looks.

This might prove to be a useful visual aide for me when I wonder why I am so exhausted at the end of the week sometimes!

Yup, I think a lot of times we don't think about just how much it really is - and I consider myself to be fairly fortunate: we only have the one child, we have the financial resources and insurance to help him, and his needs are relatively easy to meet, especially considering that his body is healthy.

I have a friend who has three kids, each with their own spot on the spectrum. She is my hero.

What a strong family! My heart goes out to this mother. This really puts things into perspective. My son's only services is what he gets at school. I can't imagine if we had to deal with all of that. But they say, "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option".
