I am a single mom raising a son with autism. 21 years ago, I read "Autism: a permanent developmental disability requiring lifelong care for which there is no known cause or cure". In that moment my world shifted. Today more than 3.5 million readers have shared in our journey through this blog as I have detailed our 21-year journey of grief, joy, disappointments, successes, lessons, strategies, personal challenges, frustrations, fears all as they unfolded- day by day.

Yikes...a different kind of day.
Someday's I forget how difficult change is for Nicky because my way of dealing with schedule changes has been to keep him busy. When I know things are going to be different I've tended to fill up the schedule, with things he and his sister can do, to keep him from meltdown, and keep Evyn from getting angry. Today, I couldn't fill the day, so he's pacing, repeating and is clearly agitated. Seems we still have work to do on flexible :)
