I don't know much about autism, I have only known one person with this and I remember how patient his mother was with him, he is a grown man, now. I remember of the glimpse I had of their lives how much in awe I was of her making sure she exposed him in everyway she could to help him have a wonderful life. Having a daughter with a rare bone disease and all that goes with it, I can say that there are things I would not appreciate had this not touched my life, as you said above, Dixie. There are so many serious things about raising and loving children with special needs and sometimes it seems so hopeless, but there are so many silver linings that make life so special- and I also had to learn about the village, only it was for my other children as sometimes this was overwhelming to them and that was painful for me to have to let them go to a point and let that happen. But if we are patient and don't expect too much, I think we all win. I enjoyed your story about you and your son very much.

Dix,
You are such a beautiful patient kind soul!!!! I have never liked the saying "it takes a village..." I have always thought it takes only 2 loving parents to raise a caring thoughtful child, but you have helped me see a different meaning in the phrase!!! This post is very touching!!!
Many Hugs,

God bless you Dixie. I have tears in my eyes now after reading your post. I have a nephew with autism. Sadly my brother and sister in law are divorced-it was too much for their marriage. I never see my nephew now, ever. But I pray for him and my SIL.You are strength itself.
