Hello and welcome to my special parent blog. My daughter has autism and I wish to share my experiences and offer any help and perspective I can. To use a metaphor, I have found that being a parent to a special needs child can be like being adrift on a life raft. Probably why Yan Martels Life of Pi is one of my favorite books. In my experience, life on the raft can be incredibly hard, and other times it can be like a carnival Cruise ship.
HEY! I just found out that Jenny McCarthy is on the ship. Well, cool, welcome and thanks! No, I am not thanking her for her early work with the fine periodical Playboy, rather for being public with her struggle for her son. And having cool hair she can flip while being charming. I hope that other parents of kids with autism who need to get diagnosed see her on the News, or OPRAH, and begin the journey to help their child.
