		<title>Not Alone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the time, we like to be right. We like that feeling of validation when something goes the way we thought it would. But there are, of course, times when our intuition kicks in, we get a hunch, and it&#8217;s not a good one. We hope like hell that we&#8217;re wrong. I wrote recently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commencement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started this blog almost three years ago, I had this vision of the post I would write when Nigel graduated from high school. Obviously, I would write about how incredibly proud I was of him, how much he had taught me through the years, how consuming my love was for him, and how [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Great Idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently received an email from a reader named Patti who had such a fantastic idea that I had to share it here (and add it to the Social Groups page): &#8220;I was reading the posts in your website and clearly most of our kids have little socialization opportunities. I was wondering if parents (local [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Re Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[* This particular week is my favorite time of year &#8211; the week between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s Day. I call it The ‘Re&#8217; Week because I spend a lot of time doing things that start with ‘re&#8217;: review, reflect, and re-evaluate. (Those of us in the retail industry also know this week as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last-minute gift idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just received the following message from the Elija School for Autism and thought I&#8217;d pass it along in case anyone is looking for a last-minute, autism-related, philanthopic gift idea. If so, please support them! &#8220;The ELIJA School for Autism is an incredible institution that focuses on treating some of the gravest cases of Autism in children.  Due [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fun and the Not Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that weird time of year &#8211; too busy to make sure my head is on straight, but enjoying fun family traditions at the same time. For about four years when the boys were younger we used to go up into the mountains surrounding our valley and cut down our own Christmas tree. I LOVED [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Thanksgiving in Thailand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And&#8230;we&#8217;re back! It was the kind of trip that made a day feel like a week because it was so full, everything in it so new. It was the kind of trip that left even the kids with no desire to watch TV in the hotel room at the end of the day. We tried [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lowdown, Vol. 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s sort of been good-days-and-bad-days around here lately. Good days, like what I wrote about in a recent post, and bad days, like what I don&#8217;t write about. I allude to Nigel&#8217;s &#8220;grumpiness,&#8221; which is blog-speak for blatant disrespectfulness; I say that he is doing well emotionally and behaviorally, and days later he is raging and crying about [...]]]></description>
