ABSTRACT

Things have calmed down considerably from the chaos that was our life for so many years. We know that tantrums will end eventually; we know that some days are worse than others. We know that there are successes and there are failures. We know that our daughter is becoming who she is. We know that our son has his own unique set of challenges without the support of a label. The autism lurks around our house and most of the time it's kept at bay, only triggered by tiredness, anxiety, hunger, lack of structure, transitions ... in other words, life.
