I have a son with autism/aspergers and I just wanted to give you a because I KNOW how hard it can be.

Try to get some time for "you". I went to my older son's baseball game yesterday while my autistic son stayed home with my H, and then I had band practice (I'm in a rock band) with my friends and I felt SO refreshed at the end of the day, and much much more able to deal with whatever came my way. It's SO easy to get burned out. I don't know about you, but we can't use babysitters for my son, because there is NO way to explain how closely he needs to be watched and to count on them to do it, so it's hard to "get away"...but over the years, we have discovered ways (having close family friends who understand him watch him, taking turns with H so one of us can get out, etc.)

Many to you!
