It read a little bit like a fairy tale … as soon as I met the right psychiatrist, I was fixed for good! And I never, ever cried again. I didn’t have room to give all the details … like that it took a few months to feel good again … and there was a lot of work being done on my end … and that even today I have plenty of bad days. I suspect that because the story was so simplistic and ended with glass slippers fitting perfectly on my dainty feet that it has been generating a lot of mail for me, most of the notes asking this question: “How do I get myself one of those good doctors who can fix me?” Dr. Smith told me during one ...

He’d gone to bed late the night before and, not surprisingly, he fell asleep around 10am, his long form smooshed against the back of the couch. I saw beside him and worked on my book and Charlie must have really needed his sleep, as Jim and me talking and Pandora playing did not wake him. When Charlie woke up, we went swimming and then a lazy summer day got a little more interesting. We’d been invited to a surprise birthday party and told to show up by a certain time to await the arrival of the birthday guest. However, the night before, we’d gone to another friend’s house and Charlie had spent most of a few hours pacing the front yard and porch; he sat down for a hamburger with an...

There are days I would trade my soul just to don a silken and lace dress and waltz around, pain-free, of course, with a flurry of singing mice and twittering birds. My husband is a good man, and I certainly love him but he is no prince with a castle and an unblemished personality - probably best if you don’t tell him. I’m not sure he knows. He has it hard enough, living with me. There are many days I am all seven of the dwarfs from Snow White, and a few extra, missing dwarfs. Besides feeling like Grouchy, Grumpy, Sleepy and Impossible, I could easily fill the role of Long-Suffering, Irrational, Bitchy and Unbearable. I can’t even stand to be with me. Can’t imagine what it is for others to be ...

The couple met through internet dating: ……the first stage of their relationship was fiery and fraught. To Sarah, Keith was ‘a puzzle’. He’d plainly state that their blissful weekends were enough for him, that he’d never live with her or even move nearer. Sarah frequently found him selfish, cold and distant. Keith found Sarah hard work, demanding and ’screechy’. Hendrickx got a job with ASpire, an organization which works with adults with Asperger’s, and realized that ...

Wright describes how her grandson slipped into the “grip” of autism and how “[o]ur grief evolved into feelings of anger and, eventually, determination.” She notes that she and her husband, Bob Wright, ….simply could not fathom why so little was known about a disorder that was devastating thousands of families like ours. Where were the impassioned speeches on the floors of Congress? Why hadn’t anyone told us this could happen to our grandchild—to anyone’s child? Curious. From these sentences, you’d think that no one who was anyone had heard about autism or knew what it was when Wright’s grandson was d...
