BEST FATHER'S DAY GIFT: "MY SON SPOKE TO ME" 		   
Summary Statement:

Every parent needs a break every once in a while, and this is almost doubly so for parents of autistic children. So, for Father’s Day, a friend of ours decided to help my wife and I out and watch my 6 year old autistic son, my 8 year old Aspergers daughter, and my totally rambunctious, absolutely normal 5 year old daughter. We gave her instructions on what to feed the girls and pointers on how to get my son to eat his GFCF food (he’s only been on the diet 3 weeks, and he still isn’t happy about it), and with great relish mixed in with a little bit of trepidation, my wife and I went out for a date.

The date was nice, more so for the fact that we got to eat at a decent restaurant without trying to catch the food my son likes to throw or without listening to his screams when the noise overwhelms him and he has a meltdown.
