My Son Jackson

In March, 2007, my son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS (pervasive development disorder - not otherwise specified) a "catch-all" category on the autistic spectrum. Jack has responded tremendously well to a program of intense therapy and dietary intervention, but not without change and stress placed on nearly every facet of my life - my marriage, my family, my career, my social life, my finances, and my values.
I hope to use this blog to record my thoughts and to share the knowledge I have gained about the autistic spectrum diseases in general, the causes, the treatments, and the stress it places on the lives of those involved.
