Starting Out

I read recently, perhaps from another blog, that raising a child with special needs is no different than raising a regular child. They need all the same things, they just need more of it. Those of us with special needs children will have more sleepless nights, change more diapers, and clean up more messes. We'll have more meetings at school, appointments with doctors, and struggle to make time for our spouses and ourselves. In short, it's just like raising a typical child - intensified.

Welcome to life on the autism spectrum.
