Everyday Life With Autism

First of all, I want to thank my friend. We have been friends since high school. She has a son (a year older than the Little One) that was diagnosed with autism. We often discuss issues surrounding their condition. She sent me this clip which I watched with the The Diva and The Princess. I refrained from crying because I didn't want to upset the kids. When you watch this clip, pay attention to the woman chasing after her son. That is what my life is like every time I leave the house.

Documenting Truth About Autism

Those of you that follow my entries titled "PDD Memoirs" know that I am blatantly honest about our daily struggle with autism. Life is difficult, not just for me...but for all of you as well. It is my sincere hope that this video touches people's lives and helps others have compassion and empathy for our children and our struggles.

Feel free to comment on the tape and/or to email this entry to your friends and family.
