Autism is on the verge of entering a new degree of difficulty in our world.  My daughter is approaching a size/weight where it is more and more difficult for me to pick her up.  This means that the risk factor of being in public goes up significantly.  Going out in public for us is somewhat of a crap shoot.  About 90% of the time, it is not an issue.  We can go anywhere.  10% of the time, it is a complete disaster.
