This is something I am passionate about.
And there's an apology stuck in the middle to a blog reader that I went off on back in 2011, who probably isn't still reading because I was so, so very rude, but if she is... I really do appreciate what you said and I really am sorry I didn't listen.
Because I should have. And I wish that I had, well, frequently if I'm honest.
And this video is totally dedicated to you.

I love comments and I read every single comment that comes in (and I try to respond when the little ones aren't distracting me to the point that it's impossible!). Please show kindness to each other and our family in the comment box. After all, we're all real people on the other side of the screen!

Amen. Amen. Amen. repeat forever. I heard it over and over. AND - even when I pushed I had therapists tell me to not worry, just a quirk and she was fine. Guess what? She was diagnosed as being on the spectrum last year at almost 18 years old. If she has been diagnosed years ago, she could have had so much more intervention, and probably avoided so much pain. Definitely push, get the child tested. Maybe they will be fine and that is great and awesome. But if not, I can tell you from personal experience that waiting for years to find out that there really is a problem is not good. At all. Typed with tears in my eyes.
