This blog is mostly for when I absolutely need to emotionally dump a lot of things regarding the autism as it affects the family. Having said that, I also am worried that people might get the wrong impression - that everything about having children with ASD is terrible, or that I don't love them. That's not the case. I very much love my kiddos. It's just hard sometimes to deal with their difficulties, because things neurotypicals take for granted will affect autistic kids so badly. Some autistic children are overwhelmed by just going grocery shopping - the lights, the noise, it all affects them harshly. And that's not even the half of it.
Yesterday was actually a really good day for the kids. I don't know why we didn't have as many troubles as we usually do - but I'll take it. I just wanted to write down something positive so that the next time I come here to vent, I can look at this and remind myself that life isn't always so challenging....
