Platitudes that make normal people feel better about there problems often just don’t apply to parenting a child with autism. #1 on that list is “This too shall pass.” Um, not really.

Maybe it should be “This too shall pass, when you’re dead” although that doesn’t exactly give one the warm and fuzzy feeling of the original. Tweet This Post
