I feel like we finally completed our badge requirements and now it's time for an induction ceremony of some kind. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a diagnosis.
And a lot of homework.
And too many choices, none of them easy.
I'm drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade. I think the last drink I had might have been in 2003. I quit drinking because alcohol makes me too tired. For some reason, that makes me laugh right now! I am cracking up! Probably because I am drinking. Or maybe I'm drinking because I'm cracking up? And now I have to go to bed. I'm exhausted.
Meet you later at the club house?

Two kids, two full time careers - lots of people do it gracefully, but for me it's a challenge, particularly as I struggle with my boy, the rooster, and his "constellation" of health and developmental issues. Medicine so far fails to cure what ails us, so I'm trying a self-prescribed intensive dose of blogging to see if that does the trick.

Welcome to the club! You made it through the hazing!
Bill and I felt that having a diagnosis helped us immensely. Just knowing what we were up against and having a better idea what we should be able to change (ie- why is our kid such a brat?) vs. ok, this is autism, not just bad parenting on our part.
I hope that this brings you some peace as well.
Oh, and alcohol makes me sleepy too, but I have never given it up :-) Maybe we should try those Red Bull/booze drinks?
Welcome to the club. Buy more lemonade. I'll be over in a few. I need to drink more. ;)
Tell us more about the rooster's dx, or what the report said. And welcome - it's the club no one wanted to be in, but there are some pretty amazing people in our club, many that I am proud to call friends.
:) We're thinking of you!
