April 2 has been designated as World Autism Day.
I urge you to do a couple of Internet searches to find out more information regarding Autism, more specifically Asperger's.
Did you know that more children are diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder than childhood cancer or Aids combined?
Did you know that 1 in 110 children will be diagnosed with this and 1 in 70 are males?
Did you know that this is real, I am not lying?
Did you know that there are no cures?
Did you know that this is something that Owen will live with everyday of his life?
Did you know that "this" consumes his family every day and eats his mother alive?
Did you know that this affects every single thing that he does?
If you didn't, try walking in his shoes...

Autism is very real and is deserving of attention and acknowledgement. I am very proud of you in taking the steps to ensure Owen has an environment that not only he can strive, but where everyone in your family can as well. No one will ever know what it truly takes but I can say that I know you are the best mother to ALL of your kids and they are truly lucky to have you.
