It’s What Ryan Told Me

Hello all! I’ve been trying to figure out how to balance my time among my five or six jobs and how to prioritize the two-and-a-half that actually pay me. I’d really like to tell you about all that.

I’d love to tell you about the advisory panel I recently had the honor to sit on at the New York Hall of Science – how I somehow got thrown in with the head of the Brooklyn Public Library’s centers for kids with special needs, the head of the science curriculum at Sesame Workshop, and Jesus Himself to help redesign a preschool exhibit to make it more autism-friendly.

At some point, I’ll get around to telling you about the talk I gave at a support group for grandparents of ASD kids.

I totally want to fill you in on the article I wrote for Autism Asperger’s Digest; the monsters I’ve been sewing; and the allergen-free recipe site I’ve been helping out with.

But all that is going to have to wait.

Because yesterday, Ryan told me, “I love you, Mommy.”

Unprompted.

For the second time ever.

And my heart is so full, I don’t much care about anything else.
