We are both learning and relearning how to take charge of what we can, and to surrender the rest. Did I mention that it sucks? While Chickadee was in the hospital [...]]]></description>

Having a kid on the spectrum has made The Schedule even more important to my life&#8212;he just plain functions better when he knows exactly what will be happening when.
