Jazz, wanted to say thanks for this article, I read it all... it's worth it. I have a cousin with Asperger's, very high functioning autism, and even that was a strain on most days (he lives in my mom's house). I can't imagine what our household would have become if he was any less functional than that... and yet, here's people who have survived it for 12 years.
I don't know how the parenting instinct can be so strong as to get you through that without giving up sooner... but I guess that's because I'm not a parent yet. I just hope that if we ever have to go through something like that, that we won't lose our minds in the process.
