If you have a child with autism, you’re probably already aware of this concept whether you know it or not. Autism magnifies your problems. If you have money problems, most can expect them to get worse. If you have problems in your marriage, they will be harder to ignore. If you have addictions, you’ll be more tempted to feed them.

A few months ago this appeared in Dear Abby and got my blood boiling, Dear Abby, I’m frickin’ clueless … Autism Aunt Raises Money and Autism Dad’s Blood Pressure. Hopefully, clueless aunt got the picture and realized that the number one thing she can do to help is watch the kid and GIVE HER SISTER A MUCH NEEDED BREAK instead of bitching about her not participating the the family fund raising efforts!

I have blogged about Autism and Dave Ramsey in the past, but a recent call to Dave’s show really drives home the point that having debt takes away a lot of your options to helping your child with autism. The caller on this day had twin boys with autism, lots of debt, massive stress, and a second job delivering pizzas.

Thinking about our upcoming time away and how important it can be to get help when your family straining, I came across this great article by Lisa Jo Rudy. She makes some great points …
Together you and your partner dreamed of a healthy child - now you face a life very different from what you imagined. Your overwhelming feelings, both individually and combined, are normal and natural in the situation but very difficult nonetheless. The needs of the children are often complex and illusive.

Getting wrapped up in the stresses and strains of everyday life, relationships inevitably suffer from lack of attention.
