Today, Autism wins........

Too tired to write much. Today is my birthday, and Autism wins. In fact, Autism has absolutely kicked my butt and makes me mad as hell. Today, Autism, has taken control of my son and his thoughts and actions. Today, Autism has caused a lot of tears, a lot of frustration and a lot of pain. Today, Autism reminds me that it is always present, and as we celebrate moments, I'm reminded that Autism is still always the teacher. Autism has taken this day away from me and my family and especially from my son. Autism interferes with so much- especially on what everyone else would consider "special days". Today, Autism wins. Damn!
