Trip to the Twilight Zone

Sometime overnight between Friday and Saturday, I took a trip into the Twilight Zone. It lasted until this evening, but I know I was awake because I attended some terrific sessions with Wordcamp KC. It felt like an parallel universe ... and it was awesome!

So, what do I mean I went into the Twilight Zone?

The struggle is real

When I started this blog, it was supposed to be a place where I could just unload. I wanted to help people who also have children who have been diagnosed with crazy acronyms and the diagnoses do nothing but tell you that your children behave a certain way. What those diagnoses don't do is tell you how difficult life will be and what to expect. Every child is different. Today is the beginning of Autism Awareness month, and I have changed my profile photo on Facebook. I don't call it Awareness ... because we are ALL aware there is autism. What we need more of is acceptance. Accept that neurological disorders manifest in very different ways. No two children are the same and the parents who battle behind the scenes are doing everything they can to protect their children's hearts ... and help them to become a functional member of society when they grow up.

That brings me to my latest battle.
