April is Autism Awareness Month

Every day is Autism Awareness at our house.
We struggle on with our Ian. He is such a sweet kid trapped in autism. He is loving, funny, giving and good. He came to me the other day after a bad tantrum and hugged me and said, "Mom, I'm scared." and I asked, "Ian, what are you scared of?" and he answered, "Myself". He is 8 years old.

Oh, Janine, I just started tearing up reading Ian's comment. That is so much more than an 8 year old should have to handle. My heart goes out to him.
