Um….I hope you don’t have an apostophre (sp?) in the final title for Dad’s, because that is rather grammatically incorrect.
The title is great otherwise 🙂

Congratulatons!

Yes, the idea came from Eden herself (and the Editorial Board)…

Well, thank you, Kate! The thing is, it is meant to be Dad’s Autism Survival Guide (as in, belongs to Dad, just like the former part is that which belongs to Mom…) so actually the apostrophe is correct where it is. However, your point is well taken. It may be that it is awkward as it is, so I’ll think about that. 🙂
