Autism has been in the news a lot of late and to be quite honest, the recent statistics scare the hell out of me. Between 2000 and 2005, diagnosed cases of autism grew by more than 100%. I'm sure much of this is accounted for by better screening practises and autism's prevalence; however, it is a sobering statistic. What's really important to acknowledge is despite the growing media coverage of autism, there is a serious lack of support services for affected families. Until recently, I knew next to nothing about autism, then a former colleague of mine mentioned his son is autistic. This conversation took place while MojoMommy was pregnant with Mojo, so of course my ears perked up and I've been reading ever since.

These two words can cause any Über-organized parent to just fizzle. Not only is their little darling going to be irritable and cranky; little darling won't be welcome back at daycare until the bacteria is treated or the virus is gone. What is Pink eye anyways? Also known as Conjunctivitis it is the redness and swelling of the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and the eye surface. There are two kinds of pink eye, bacterial and viral. Bacterial can be treated with antibiotics and improvement is often seen as early as 24hrs. Viral conjunctivitis on the other hand must run its course sometimes 7-10 days. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom or a jet-setting single Dad, you pretty much have to stop everything for a few moments and assess the situation.
