As you know, my two younger grandchildren (siblings) both have autism and I post about them fairly frequently. My last two posts each show some of the ways in which autism can manifest itself. I love each of them dearly, wouldn't trade 'em for all the tea in China, but boy there are times when one launches into a meltdown of massive proportions that can really have one questioning their sanity!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-69527292256366994902010-04-12T18:39:52.442-05:002010-04-12T18:39:52.442-05:00Autism is near and dear to my heart: I've bee...Autism is near and dear to my heart: I've been working with children with autism for 25 years and have seen the incidence of autism dramatically increase.

My hubby is bipolar and we have structure and keep to a schedule and meds at a certain time. There are other similarities too.
