My son was originally diagnosed with Asperger's but over the years it has become clear that while he has always had language, he really has the more severe condition of autism. One of my greatest challenges in life is to not let my son's challenges and limitations limit my life. <br /><br />All women are searching for balance in our lives, which is one of the reasons I enjoy visiting your blog. It provides a bit of balance to mine.laurieannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-50877367039924435402010-10-06T11:34:28.353-04:002010-10-06T11:34:28.353-04:00That's very moving...thanks for sharing.That's very moving...thanks for sharing.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-69760661590967993762010-10-06T11:33:42.641-04:002010-10-06T11:33:42.641-04:00Okay, that made me cry.
