Hi everyone,
Today is Autism awareness day, and I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the parents and loved ones of children affected by this wide-ranging disorder. Having a child with special medical circumstances is a surreal path to be on. Filled alternately with joy and frustration, triumph and tears, it is not an easy road to walk, but it's one you have to manage as best you can.
So, for Autism awareness day, please think twice before judging mothers with their children in public. Not every tantrum is a spoiled child. If you see someone struggling with their kids, offer to open a door or carry a bag. Little things can help a lot.
That's my PSA for the day.

I have a couple of friends who are autistic, and a couple more who have children who are. It's not easy to deal with, with you have it, or a loved one does. {small smile}

EMERGENCY!!
My butterfly (black swallowtail) just emerged from his crysalis...what do I do to feed it? I plan to set him free but I want to take pictures first...what do I do with him?!?
Sorry Stefanie!
The best thing to do is take some pictures then let him go. He'll be alright.
