I don't believe in coincidence.
I do believe that everything, on some level, is pre-ordained. It's the choice, the free will of all people, that provide the variables that make life so interesting, challenging and unpredictable.
In this latest stage of my life, I find my walk with God has taken me alongside, fortuitously, some one else of similar mind and belief who is making me ask some hard, hard questions.
Not coincidentally, my older son is struggling with a constellation of issues. My husband and I find ourselves struggling against his well-mounted coping mechanisms. We re doing saying all the right things and taking the right actions. But he's not seeing or hearing us.
I found myself asking my 9-year-old in first light this morning: "Can you help me save your brother?"
Wise little man that he is, he did not answer.

About Me
- Elizabeth
- In addition to parenting two extraordinary boys who also happen to have autism, I write, edit, advocate, and occasionally work as a movie extra. While I don't expect to change the world, I'm doing my level best to make my own little corner of it a better place. I dare others to do the same.
