April is Autism Awareness Month.  As you know, Brother has high functioning autism.  He was diagnosed at the age of 6 the day after I found out I was pregnant with Pumpkin.  It was quite a roller coaster ride of emotions.  On the one hand, I was relieved that his behaviors were not caused by my mismanagement of discipline.  On the other, his life would be so much more burdened by this disorder.  I wanted to weep for him, but I knew I needed to be strong and move forward.  I have weeped for him since for his milestones and for his setbacks. 

I plan on writing a bit each day about life with a child with autism.  I hope you will be enlightened.
