One reason I stopped writing about my son every day at <i>Autismland</i> was the result of discussions with my husband, about how I was representing Charlie and also about his privacy. (He's been fine with the balance of mentions of Charlie here.) I also think (something else I wished we could have talked about at the panel) that there's something especially appealing to women about blogging, and maybe especially for moms of special needs kids. Thank you again! @Emily, How about a brown noodles party some day, with <i>chow fun</i>, <i>pad thai</i>, sesame noodles, <i>chow mein</i>, udon and soba and ....... @Carmen, hi—-I really appreciated your comment at the BlogHer panel.

I feel your pain - change is never pleasant with my spectrum child, and with five older siblings, we are in a constant state of flux. I attended your session at Blogher - I was the one who struggles with a difference of opinion with my spouse as far as how much to blog about my daughter and her needs. I was amazed and impressed by what you had to say. Thank you so much - you'll never know what kind of an affect you had on me. And on us as a family. Oh, Kristina.

AAA is pretty handy to have...we just used it a few weeks ago for a blowout ourselves. Every time you write about brown noodles, I really start wanting to have some. That was quite a day.

We had a flat tire on our way to catch the ferry in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Thanks to some local good Samaritans, we didn't have to wait long to fix it. Amigo's anxiety was rising by the minute.
