Autism One to go or not? Posted By: Jake9068
Posted On: 05/11/2008
I have a plane ticket and hotel reservations in place for Autism One but I find myself dreading it. I'm trying to figure out the why?. I'm tired of everything being about Autism, I've heard 99% of the speakers before, I'm finding the underside of conferences rather ugly (partying, politics,more politics, more partying). The in-fighting between organizations annoys me and has very obvious at Autism One. Yet, I'm afraid not to go... what if I miss that one vital piece of information that helps my child?
That is the answer, I'm going to make sure I'm doing all I can for my child.

Its funny cause I really want to go for my sons sake. But then I think about being away for so long which I never have been and it scares me. I think of all the what ifs! But I do believe it'll be good for me and for my husband. I need a little away time and he needs alittle home time for him and his babys. I hope to see you there:) Maybe we all can meet up? At least the ones that are going!!!!

Take some non-autism time at the conference. Find 30 minutes here and there - even if it's just for a coffee away from the crowds. Relish the change of routine. I hope you enjoy.

And say hi to my mom, Nancy Cale, at the Unlocking Autism booth too! You can hang out with her while the others party--she's not into that scene either and might appreciate some company : )
