Not Sleeping by Alan Winnikoff

Guest Blog Post for The Autism Dad By Alan Winnikoff Author of the novel “Not Sleeping” I’ve often heard autism parents quote a particular statistic– 70% of special needs couples break up. I’ve never been able to verify this – it might be more urban legend than reality. After all, on the flip side, I know plenty of special needs couples who are hanging together, finding a way to make their relationship work, keeping their connection going, in spite of the pressures.

Are you the health advocate your child needs you to be?

Parenthood is tough at the best of times. Add underlying health conditions to that struggle, and doing the best for your kids can seem like an insurmountable mountain. While they’re the ones who have to deal with sometimes painful conditions, up to a certain age and perhaps even past then, you need to be in their corner fighting right along with them.  Image Source: CC0 License After all, health conditions often come with a lot of appointments, and your diary is likely always full with hospital checks, bookings with their physio and podiatrist clinic, and perhaps even further appointments for mental management. It’s a lot, but such is the nature of living with ongoing problems. As difficult as all this can be for you to manage, it’s guaranteed to be…
