Okay, my darlings. I am getting close to the finish line. I just wrote the last sentence in the book! I write out of order; I write what I want to write when I want to write it. I have to have faith that I will get to everything I need to, and so I have.<\/p>\n
Now I have to write the chapter on Us and Them. Our experiences with our kids out in the world, and how we handle it. How do we strive for contentment and happiness, given the responses autism gets in the world?<\/span> Have you had good experiences? Awful ones? I want to hear both kinds, whatever you got. Strategies for handling the nosy clueless wonder in the supermarket. Or the doesn’t-get-it parent. The neighbor who shuns you because maybe autism is contagious. Or the school administrator, or the insensitive (or wonderful) doctor.<\/p>\n Does your spouse\/partner help you, back you up?<\/p>\n As always, give me your name, city, state, kid’s Dx and age. I will likely publish what you send me so make sure that is okay with you\/those in your life!<\/p>\n Get it all out! It will feel so good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, my darlings. I am getting close to the finish line. I just wrote the last sentence in the book!
