My Kid's Got the Autism

That one day when I went away for the weekend and everything fell apart -- people got sick, people went away, the kid and his dad spent over two weeks on their own, and having to tell Campbell about death for the first time. It's an episode from the...

That one day when Campbell does something scary, freaking everyone out, right there in The Most Magical Place on Earth. An episode about breaking glass, a freaked out dad, great Disney dining, and the importance of a decent wi-fi signal. 

That one day when I realized it was "Diagnosis Week", and reflect up on this week in 2013, when we got the official diagnosis of autism on our kid... and a story of communication and hope.

That one day when we find Campbell standing in the kitchen, evidence of the crime strewn about. An episode on the struggles of obedience, the resulting punishment, and the dangers of not following the rules.

That one day when they canceled schools because of a pandemic, and then we had to figure out how to survive the next (the last?) five months together with school and YouTube and trampoline parks and neighborhood parties and more.
