You know what they say about buses? Well today I'm linking to my third guest post in as many weeks, thanks to the awesome Varda who blogs at The Squashed Bologna where she writes with authority, intellect and passion about raising two boys - one with autism - and caring for elderly parents. She is someone for whom I have a huge amount of respect.
In March she introduced a series of weekly guest posts on her blog - Special Needs Sibling Saturdays - to explore how children cope when they have a special needs sibling, and how parents deal with the fallout. There have been some really amazing posts, so I was honoured but a little worried when Varda asked me to contribute. Would I be able to write something good enough?
Too late now...it's up, and you can read it here. And I promise, my piece is not a misery-fest and the m-word is barely mentioned. It's mostly a celebration of my lovely daughter, Angel, inspired by photos such as these:
And memories of aspie boy like this one:
So please go and check it out, and read some of Varda's other posts while you're there x
