My thanks to the three of you who read past the story warning and then went on to provide feedback. To be honest, a warning like that would have kept me from reading a story.
Amy, I wish I could write, "My pleasure," but that would be patently untrue under the circumstances. I will say that writing this story was therapeutic.
DC, had this story been part of an afternoon television series aimed at kids, I'm sure it would have been advertised as "a very special episode." I do appreciate your good wishes.
BJ, thank you. We are definitely in a challenging phase right now. In addition to his autism, my son also has OCD and ADHD. Not a particularly pleasant combination for anyone involved -- including him. As a boy, he had generally been happy and sweet, and I have every reason to be hopeful that he will be both once again in a few years. But those years will be long ones...
Joy,
Lynn
