I never feel guilty about taking time out to visit the doctor or dentist. I can schedule trips as required and attend important things(to me at least) as school plays.

Whilst his disability often gives me sleepless nights, I realised my troubles are nothing compared to those of many parents. My son has autism and will be leaving his current school this summer. Another reason I am so mollie is I work from home, which gives me total freedom. I chose to be my own boss and as such I set my own hours. I don't have to ask permission from anyone, which is just as well as this year I went twice.

The play was excellent and every. That's something I never thought I'd say.

Today it was sitting in the audience watching my son's school performance of The Sound Of Music, or at least a very small part of it. Every day something happens to make me appreciate how loleta I am.

The diversity of problems faced by the other children who attend the same wonderful Special Needs School; make my son's autism seem a blessing.
