The Holidays

Thanksgiving is around the corner here in the US, and our family has found itself celebrating alone this year. The challenge of attending a family gathering far away is, frankly, too great; travel, food and dietary issues, behaviors and stress all make this an impossible task. In the past, the family has gathered at a relative's house and it's been a kind of reunion. But taking our son with autism was a huge challenge. We were only able to 'tag out' the responsibility the past two years. My husband went with our other child to be with his family first, then I came down separately and brought our autistic son there briefly for the actual Dinner. Then my husband took our behaviorally-challenged son home while I stayed behind with our other child. If you know severe autism, you'll understand why. If not, well, let's just say we wish we didn't have to do it this way. But those couple of hours when we could all be together, as stressful as they were, were wonderful memories. Blessings on your Holiday!
