#Autism Parenting 101 - Sometimes it's important to be selfish

This has been a question that I've been meaning to ask the community but keep forgetting to do so. One of the reasons I'm wanting to dialogue about this is because it may help the lay person to better understand the life of an Autism parent.

The other reason I want to talk about this is because I believe that many Autism parents feel an incredible sense of guilt, just thinking about this and that's something I want to address.

So, here's the questions.

As an Autism parent, do you find time for anything else or has Autism pretty much taken over your life? If you do something for yourself, do you feel guilty?

Please share your story with us because I'm hoping that we can work together to help not only educate society but also teach each other that sometimes we have to make ourselves a priority.
