I'm trying hard to make sure my 6 year old daughter gets to be kid while we spend a lot of time with my 4 year old son in Autism therapy.
Unfortunately my wife and I are someday going to have to pass the reigns of responsibility for his well being to her. I'm heartened when I read about siblings of Autistic children and how you still care after all the years of hardship.
My son's communication has been getting progressively better since the link below occurred a year ago but he still has a long way to go. I hope he can be self sufficient when he gets older.
