Introduction	Add two children with autism, a teenager, homeschooling, two cats, a geek husband and the daily grind... you get? Me with an edge (or on the edge?!) The players in this saga? J is my tech support and the Boss (he thinks). JBug is my 15 year old daughter. JBear is my 11 year old son, with High Functioning Autism/Asperger's. JBean is my youngest daughter, at 8. Also diagnosed with HFA. Then there's me. I'm just T. My life is an open book. (if it wasn't, would I be doing this?) I view autism as a growth process and the opportunity to connect parents for support as a passion. I write. I breathe. I write some more. I write like I breathe...currently hyperventilating.

Favorite books	I Know This Much is True, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Sense and Sensibility, A Confederacy of Dunces...back when I had time to read. Now? Books are doorstops, pretty much, unless they have pictures.
