Siblings of Autism
One thing about this autism thing that truly breaks my heart is Ikey. I can’t help but wonder if he’ll live his life thinking he’s getting the short end of the stick.

Sweet sweet nap time. Glorious. So I’ve been in a bit of pain lately that I’ve been blaming on my sciatic nerve.
