I’m at a crossroads. So many things in play.
I began General Hysteria, really, for me. I began General Hysteria for any other special needs parents that felt alone; any parent, regardless of needs, that felt isolated, unsure. In my haste to share this proud endeavor, I let a little leak to those around me. I [...]

“With regard to your “coming out” dilemma, Alex quipped, “Tell Mia not to worry about her son when he’s a teenager. No teen, (especially a bullying type) is going to spend any time reading a middle aged woman’s mommy blog.” Good point.” ~ Michele T.

Okay, really, this is just a little self-indulgent, but as you know, I do like awards. Before blogging, I rarely if ever won anything. I’m sure Dooce won’t have to worry about Mia Hysteria nipping at her heals, but it doesn’t hurt to dream! So….won’t you take a minute to help me along the way?
